More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Faith has a saving connection with Christ. Christ is on the shore, so to speak, holding the rope, and as we lay hold of it with the hand of our confidence, He pulls us to shore but all good works having no connection with Christ are drifted along down the gulf of fell despair.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not the strength of your faith that saves you, but the strength of Him upon whom you rely! Christ is able to save you if you come to Him-be your faith weak or be it strong.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.

He who fears God has nothing else to fear.

Image
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
Image
The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The stool of repentance and the foot of the cross are the favorite positions of instructed Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin is no little thing. It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced his heart . . . Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be ‘exceeding sinful’.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree.

You may alter an opinion, but you cannot alter a # fact .

Be assured, there is nothing new in theology except that which is false.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Love for God is obedience love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man is really saved unless he is in his heart obedient to Christ.

You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect.

You have need to pray to God, not only to help you in your troubles--but to help you in your blessings

Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus Christ to keep you out of hell.
