I would not choose to go where I would be afraid to die, nor could I bear to live without a good hope for hereafter.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
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
The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do what you believe to be right, and ever hold it for a maxim, that if the skies fall through your doing right, honest men will survive the ruin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had only one more sermon to preach before I died, it would be about my Lord Jesus Christ. And I think that when we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of him.

Image
Trials teach us what we are.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great faith must have great trials.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The worst forms of depression are cured when Holy Scripture is believed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan always hates Christian fellowship it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house they have not gone far off they are upstairs and we are down below.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
