More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon
When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?
Charles Spurgeon
If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Every sufferer who bears pain, or slander, or loss, or personal unkindness for Christ’s sake, is filling up that amount of suffering which is necessary to the bringing together of the whole body of Christ, and the upbuilding of His elect Church.
Charles Spurgeon
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
He who does not long to know more of Christ, knows nothing of him yet.
Charles Spurgeon
It is not faith in Christ that saves you (though faith is the instrument) - it is Christ's blood and merits.
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
Surely if men's hearts were right, short sermons would be enough.
Charles Spurgeon
The verb 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28) is the same as 'made us accepted' in Ephesians 1:6, referring to all of God's children. All true believers have been 'highly graced' by the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
May every one of us believe Him better, and have greater thoughts of Him, and never let us be guilty henceforth of confining, as it were, within iron bonds the limitless One of Israel.
Charles Spurgeon
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
Inconsistent professors are the greatest stumbling blocks to the spread of the cause of Christ!
Charles Spurgeon
Home is the grandest of all institutions.
Charles Spurgeon
You will never be saved against your will God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.
Charles Spurgeon
Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.
Charles Spurgeon
Never fear dying, beloved. Dying is the last, but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about. Fear living...that is a hard battle to fight, a stern discipline to endure, a rough voyage to undergo.
Charles Spurgeon
A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
Charles Spurgeon
We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.
Charles Spurgeon
