Quote

I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer's blood.

More quotes by 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
My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God lights the candle, none can blow it out.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Like Jonah, you may lose your gourd, but you cannot lose your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God, we will not!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God requires of the sinner, dead in sin, that he should take the first step, then he requires just that which renders salvation as impossible under the gospel as it was under the law, since man is as unable to believe as he is to obey.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Consume all obstacles, heavenly fire, and give us now both hearts of flame and tongues of fire to preach Your reconciling word, for Jesus' sake
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A rejoicing heart soon makes a praising tongue.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is measured by weight, not by length
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The full he empties, and the empty he fills.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are one in Christ let us be friends with one another but let us never be friends with one another’s error. If I be wrong, rebuke me sternly I can bear it, and bear it cheerfully and if ye be wrong, expect the like measure from me, and neither peace nor parley with your mistakes.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
Charles Spurgeon
