Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The observant man recognizes many mysteries into which he can not pretend to see, and he remembers that the world is too wide for the eye of one man. But the modern sophists are sure of everything, especially if it contradicts the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The first thing in faith is knowledge. What we know we must also agree unto. What we agree unto we must rest upon alone for salvation. It will not save me to know that Christ is a Saviour but it will save me to trust Him to be my Saviour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.
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
Love for God is obedience love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner's eyes, and He sees His own dear Son's image there, and He takes him in.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be a full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Does the world satisfy thee? Then thou hast thy reward & portion in this life make much of it, for thou shalt know no other joy
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The doctrines some now preach could not build a mouse-trap.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If when I get to heaven the Lord shall say to me, Spurgeon, I want you to preach for all eternity, I would reply, Lord, give me a Bible, that is all I need.
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
Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As long as a man is alive and out of hell, he cannot have any cause to complain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.

Six feet of dirt make all men equal.
