More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles Spurgeon
I hope the doctrine that Christians ought to be gloomy will soon be driven out of the universe. There are no people in the world who have such a right to be happy, nor have such cause to be joyful as the saints of the living God.
Charles Spurgeon
God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in him he is altogether well pleased with us.
Charles Spurgeon
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.
Charles Spurgeon
He (Jesus) will reign over you, either by your consent, or without it.
Charles Spurgeon
The only reason why anything virtuous or lively survives in us is this, 'the LORD is there' (Ez. 35:10)
Charles Spurgeon
Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.
Charles Spurgeon
The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
Charles Spurgeon
The angels did not merely sin and lose heaven, but they passed beyond all other beings in sin and made themselves fit denizens for hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Every generation needs regeneration
Charles Spurgeon
The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree.
Charles Spurgeon
Give me great sinners to make great saints! They are glorious raw material for Grace to work upon and when you do get them saved, they will shake the very gates of Hell!
Charles Spurgeon
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy law.
Charles Spurgeon
No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow.
Charles Spurgeon
There is no exception to this rule: All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant. They say there is no rule without an exception, but there is an exception to that rule.
Charles Spurgeon
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
Charles Spurgeon
