Quote

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.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.
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
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never lose heart in the power of the gospel. Do not believe that there exists any man, much less any race of men, for whom the gospel is not fitted.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satisfaction with results will be the [death] knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no university for a Christian, like that of sorrow and trial
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some people, when they use the word 'salvation', understand nothing more by it than deliverance from hell and admittance into heaven. Now, that is not salvation: those two things are the effects of salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you were God’s children you would loathe the very thought of the world’s evil joys, and your question would not be, “How far may we be like the world?” but your one cry would be, “How far can we get away from the world? How much can we come out from it?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
God knows where every particle of the handful of dust has gone he has marked in his book the wandering of every one of its atoms. He hath death so open before His view, that He can bring all these together, bone to bone, and clothe them with the very flesh that robed them in the days of yore, and make them live again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The devil never tempted a man whom he found judiciously employed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A rejoicing heart soon makes a praising tongue.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you have no share in the living Lord may God have mercy upon you! If you have no share in Christ's rising from the dead then you will not be raised up in the likeness of His glorified body. If you do not attain to that resurrection from among the dead then you must abide in death.
Charles Spurgeon
