More quotes by 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
If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
We declare, upon Scriptural authority, that the human will is so desperately set on mischief, so depraved, and so inclined to everything that is evil, and so disinclined to everything that is good, that without the powerful, supernatural, irresistible influence of the Holy Spirit, no human will ever be constrained towards Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Repentance will not make you see Christ but to see Christ will give you repentance.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To a hungry man, Christ is very lovely when He has a loaf of bread in His hand.
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
There are, in truth, but two denominations upon this earth: the Church and the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is the trading of the heart with God, and the heart never comes into spiritual commerce with the ports of heaven until God the Holy Ghost puts wind into the sails and speeds the ship into its haven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not rest, believer, until you have full assurance of your interest in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our motto is, With God, anywhere: without God, nowhere.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
