More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My witness is, that those who are honoured of their Lord in public, have usually to endure a secret chastening, or to carry a peculiar cross, lest by any means they exalt themselves, and fall into the snare of the devil.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you speak of heaven, let your face light up let it be irradiated by a heavenly gleam let your eyes shine with reflected glory. But when you speak of hell, your ordinary expression will do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
Charles Spurgeon
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
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. If it were not for the laws of the land, we should soon see a massacre of the righteous. Jesus was watched by his enemies, who were thirsting for his blood: his disciples must not look for favour where their Master found hatred and death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is far easier to fight with sin in public than to pray against it in private.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The first thing in faith is knowledge. What we know we must also agree unto. What we agree unto we must rest upon alone for salvation. It will not save me to know that Christ is a Saviour but it will save me to trust Him to be my Saviour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus. We are not to be living specimens of men in fine preservation, but living sacrifices, whose lot is to be consumed
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The most useful members of a church are usually those who would be doing harm if they were not doing good.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
