Image
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.

Remember, Christ's scholars must study upon their knees.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.

Image
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God has so made man's heart that nothing can ever fill it but God himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we pretend that we are seeking.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There, poor sinner, take my garment, and put it on you shall stand before God as if you were Christ, and I will stand before God as if I had been the sinner I will suffer in the sinner's stead, and you shall be rewarded for works that you did not do, but which I did for you.
