More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.
Charles Spurgeon
He who does not long to know more of Christ, knows nothing of him yet.
Charles Spurgeon
We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody said he ought never to come out again, and when he was out of it they all declared he never ought to enter it again.
Charles Spurgeon
When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner's eyes, and He sees His own dear Son's image there, and He takes him in.
Charles Spurgeon
I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace for I hope to swim to glory on it.
Charles Spurgeon
Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.
Charles Spurgeon
This day, my God, I hate sin not because it damns me, but because it has done Thee wrong. To have grieved my God is the worst grief to me.
Charles Spurgeon
God looketh upon any thing we say, or any thing we do, and if He seeth Christ in it, He accepteth it but if there be no Christ, He putteth it away as a foul thing.
Charles Spurgeon
My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?
Charles Spurgeon
Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.
Charles Spurgeon
To think that before the hills were formed, or the channels of the sea were scooped out, God loved me that from everlasting to everlasting His mercy is upon His people. Is not that a consolation?
Charles Spurgeon
If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?
Charles Spurgeon
The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
Charles Spurgeon
Dear friends, whenever you want to understand a text of Scripture, try to read the original
Charles Spurgeon
The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity.
Charles Spurgeon
A mouthful of sea air, or a stiff walk in the wind's face would not give grace to the soul, but it would yield oxygen to the body, which is next best
Charles Spurgeon
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
The vendors of flowers in the streets of London are wont to commend them to customers by crying: All a blowing and a growing. It would be no small praise to Christians if we could say as much for them.
Charles Spurgeon
