More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
The whole Christ seeks after each sinner, and when the Lord finds it, he gives himself to that one soul as if he had but that one soul to bless. How my heart admires the concentration of all the Godhead and humanity of Christ in his search after each sheep of his flock.
Charles Spurgeon
Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.
Charles Spurgeon
If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
Charles Spurgeon
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died.
Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon
When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.
Charles Spurgeon
We venture to assert, that if there be any day in the year, of which we may be pretty sure that it was not the day on which the Savior was born, it is the 25th of December. Regarding not the day, let us, nevertheless, give thanks to God for the gift of His dear Son.
Charles Spurgeon
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
Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.
Charles Spurgeon
If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.
Charles Spurgeon
To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.
Charles Spurgeon
Do not rest, believer, until you have full assurance of your interest in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
