More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
You and your sins must separate or you and your God will never come together. No one sin may keep you they must all be given up, they must be brought out like Canaanite kings from the cave and be hanged up in the sun.
Charles Spurgeon
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
Charles Spurgeon
Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.
Charles Spurgeon
The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not have the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give, they eagerly demanded.
Charles Spurgeon
God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.
Charles Spurgeon
How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves
Charles Spurgeon
To receive the Word in the ear is one thing, and to receive Jesus into your very soul is quite another.
Charles Spurgeon
We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
Charles Spurgeon
He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.
Charles Spurgeon
Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.
Charles Spurgeon
Reply implicitly upon the old, old gospel. You need no other nets when you fish for men those your Master has given you are strong enough to hold the little ones. Spread these nets and no others, and you need not fear the fulfillment of His word, 'I will make you fishers of men.'
Charles Spurgeon
If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.
Charles Spurgeon
When we come to the end of self we come to the beginning of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
We cannot play at preaching. We preach for eternity.
Charles Spurgeon
Birds sing on a bare bough O, believer, canst not thou?
Charles Spurgeon
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!
Charles Spurgeon
The man who, despite the teaching of Scripture, tries to pray without a Savior, insults the deity.
Charles Spurgeon
