More quotes by 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
We are convinced that all of our race who die in infancy partake in the redemption wrought out by our Lord Jesus. Whatever some may think, we believe that the whole spirit and tone of the Word of God, as well as the nature of God Himself, lead us to believe that all who leave this world as babes are saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is wonderful how God works by our hands, and yet His own hand does it all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is reason at rest in God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Jesus Christ does not save the worthy, but the unworthy. Your plea must not be righteousness but guilt
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
Conversion is not, as some suppose, a violent opening of the heart by grace, in which will, reason and judgment are all ignored or crushed. The season is not blinded, but enlightened and the whole man is made to act with a glorious liberty which it never knew till it fell under the restraints of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A mouthful of sea air, or a stiff walk in the wind's face would not give grace to the soul, but it would yield oxygen to the body, which is next best
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.

Image
There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You will never know God's strength until He has supported you in deep waters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sickness has frequently been of more use to the saints of God than health has.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much-the companies never it is the units-the single individuals, that are the power and the might. Individual effort is, after all, the grand thing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Have your heart right with Christ, and he will visit you often, and so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes into temples, and earth into heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To rejoice in temporal comforts is dangerous, to rejoice in self is foolish, to rejoice in sin is fatal, but to rejoice in God is heavenly.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man's words are mere breath, but the word of the Lord is spirit and life.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From the descent of the Holy Spirit at the beginning we may learn something concerning His operations at the present time. Remember at the outset that whatever the Holy Spirit was at the first, He is that now, for as God, He remains forever the same-whatever He did then He is able to do still, for His power is by no means diminished.

By all means read the Puritans, they are worth more than all the modern stuff put together.
