He bequeaths us His manger, from which to learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the best attested facts on record. There were so many witnesses to behold it, that if we do in the least degree receive the credibility of men's testimonies, we cannot and we dare not doubt that Jesus rose from the dead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Go forth today, by the help of God's Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life - come poverty, come wealth, in death - come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord's. For this is written on your heart, 'We love Him because He first loved us.'
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God gave me this great book to preach from, and if He has put anything in it you think is not fit, go and complain to Him, not to me. I am simply his servant, and if His errand that I am to tell is objectionable, I cannot help it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me say that for comfort, there is no thought more full of sweetness than that of an eternal God engaged in Christ Jesus to His people to love, and bless, and save them all. One Who has made them the distinguished objects of His discriminating regard from all eternity, it is the eternal God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I hope the doctrine that Christians ought to be gloomy will soon be driven out of the universe. There are no people in the world who have such a right to be happy, nor have such cause to be joyful as the saints of the living God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To a hungry man, Christ is very lovely when He has a loaf of bread in His hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The world will never be converted to God unitl Christians cry less and laugh and sing more.

Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God notices every one of us there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees.
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
If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot have Christ, if you will not serve Him.

Men talk of the mistakes of Scripture. I thank God that I have never met with any. Mistakes of translation there may be, for translators are men. But mistakes of the original word there never can be, for the God who spoke it is infallible, and so is every word he speaks, and in that confidence we find delightful rest.

Unbelief is the mother of vice it is the parent of sin and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil-a master sin.

Image
I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Neither when we have chosen our way can we keep company with those who go the other way. There must come with the decision for truth a corresponding protest against error.

Fiery trials make golden Christians.
