More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I find myself frequently depressed - perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To trifle with Scripture is to deprive yourself of its aid. Reverence it, and look up to God with devout gratitude for having given it to you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men will never be great in theology until they are great in suffering.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man is really saved unless he is in his heart obedient to Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must teach plainly that the faith which saves the soul is not a dead faith, but a faith which operates with purifying effect upon our entire nature, and produces in us fruits of righteousness to the praise and glory of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would go to the deeps a hundred times a cheer a downcast spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.
