Quote

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.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Methinks every true Christian should be exceedingly earnest in prayer concerning the souls of the ungodly and when they are so, how abundantly God blesses them and how the church prospers!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who, despite the teaching of Scripture, tries to pray without a Savior, insults the deity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It has been well said that if a great king should bring us a great heap of gold, and bid us take as much as we could count in a day, we should make a long day of it but to win souls is far nobler work. How is it that we so soon withdraw from it?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember, Christ's scholars must study upon their knees.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember that thought is speech before God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not rest, believer, until you have full assurance of your interest in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men talk of the mistakes of Scripture. I thank God that I have never met with any. Mistakes of translation there may be, for translators are men. But mistakes of the original word there never can be, for the God who spoke it is infallible, and so is every word he speaks, and in that confidence we find delightful rest.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible you open its cage and let it roar.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Jesus Christ does not save the worthy, but the unworthy. Your plea must not be righteousness but guilt
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
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Think not of the sinner or the greatness of his sin, but think of the greatness of the Savior!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is nothing so deluded as feelings. Christians cannot live by feelings. Let me further tell you that many feelings are the work of Satan, for they are not right feelings. What right have you to set up your feelings against the Word of Christ?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We declare, upon Scriptural authority, that the human will is so desperately set on mischief, so depraved, and so inclined to everything that is evil, and so disinclined to everything that is good, that without the powerful, supernatural, irresistible influence of the Holy Spirit, no human will ever be constrained towards Christ.

Surely if men's hearts were right, short sermons would be enough.
