If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's children are God's children anywhere and everywhere, and shall be even unto the end. Nothing can sever that sacred tie, or divide us from his heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no more blessed way of living, than the life of faith based upon a covenant-keepin g God - to know that we have no care, for He cares for us that we need have no fear, except to fear Him that we need have no troubles, because we have cast our burdens upon the Lord, and are conscience that He will sustain us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much-the companies never it is the units-the single individuals, that are the power and the might. Individual effort is, after all, the grand thing.
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.

Every generation needs regeneration

Image
Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Your sorrow itself shall be turned into joy. Not the sorrow to be taken away, and joy to be put in its place, but the very sorrow which now grieves you shall be turned into joy. God not only takes away the bitterness and gives sweetness in its place, but turns the bitterness into sweetness itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God works, and therefore we work God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.

Fine music without devotion is but a splendid garment upon a corpse.

Image
When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.
