Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
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
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.
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.

Image
To me, Calvinism means the placing of the eternal God at the head of all things.
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
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
I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we pretend that we are seeking.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out-give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God looketh upon any thing we say, or any thing we do, and if He seeth Christ in it, He accepteth it but if there be no Christ, He putteth it away as a foul thing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
