More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice.
Charles Spurgeon
A soul-winner can do nothing without God. He must cast himself on the Invisible, or be a laughing-stock to the devil, who regards with utter disdain all who think to subdue human nature with mere words and arguments.
Charles Spurgeon
He who is surety is never sure himself. Take advice, and never be security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the word of the wise man: He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
Charles Spurgeon
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.
Charles Spurgeon
Surely if men's hearts were right, short sermons would be enough.
Charles Spurgeon
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
The angels did not merely sin and lose heaven, but they passed beyond all other beings in sin and made themselves fit denizens for hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
Charles Spurgeon
Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.
Charles Spurgeon
A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
Charles Spurgeon
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that in public worship we should do well to be bound by no human rules, and constrained by no stereotyped order.
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
If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
Charles Spurgeon
Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.
Charles Spurgeon
That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
Charles Spurgeon
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.
Charles Spurgeon
The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.
Charles Spurgeon
