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
Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You need not to know much about Heaven-it is where Christ is, and that is Heaven enough for us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let this one great, gracious, glorious fact lie in your spirit until it permeates all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Rejoice that the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song - He has become your salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you cracks and crevices of time, fill them up with holy service.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God's glory, though it may not express itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head and humble prayer, yet it silently adores.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without Christ there is no hope.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is more ready to forgive me than I am ready to offend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken and when you cannot trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy, the more humble.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
