We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple.
Charles Spurgeon
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
If when I get to heaven the Lord shall say to me, Spurgeon, I want you to preach for all eternity, I would reply, Lord, give me a Bible, that is all I need.
Charles Spurgeon
The stool of repentance and the foot of the cross are the favorite positions of instructed Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
If the giving of the Law, while it was yet unbroken, was attended with such a display of awe-inspiring power, what will that day be when the Lord shall, with flaming fire, take vengeance on those who have willfully broken that Law?
Charles Spurgeon
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
Life is short and we have scarcely begun to live when we are called to die.
Charles Spurgeon
Conversion is not, as some suppose, a violent opening of the heart by grace, in which will, reason and judgment are all ignored or crushed. The season is not blinded, but enlightened and the whole man is made to act with a glorious liberty which it never knew till it fell under the restraints of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
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 will hear His people at the beginning of their prayers if the condition of their heart is ready for it.
Charles Spurgeon
The heart of the gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ. They who preach this truth preach the gospel in whatever else they may be mistaken but they who preach not the atonement, whatever else they declare, have missed the soul and substance of the divine message.
Charles Spurgeon
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon
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.
Charles Spurgeon
We live charmed lives if we are living in the center of God's will. All the attacks that Satan can hurl against us are not only powerless to harm us, but are turned into blessing on the way.
Charles Spurgeon
An unholy church! It is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hells laughter, heavens abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.
Charles Spurgeon
Let us go to Calvary to learn how we may be forgiven. And then let us linger there to learn how to forgive.
Charles Spurgeon
You and your sins must separate or you and your God will never come together. No one sin may keep you they must all be given up, they must be brought out like Canaanite kings from the cave and be hanged up in the sun.
Charles Spurgeon
The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.
Charles Spurgeon
