May every one of us believe Him better, and have greater thoughts of Him, and never let us be guilty henceforth of confining, as it were, within iron bonds the limitless One of Israel.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We say that Christ so died that He infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ's death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all damaged goods in recovery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works and he that is without works is without faith.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, Don't be a minister if you can help it, because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Unbelief is the mother of vice it is the parent of sin and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil-a master sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many people write their blessings in the sand but engrave their sorrows in marble
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
