Quote

Some people, when they use the word 'salvation', understand nothing more by it than deliverance from hell and admittance into heaven. Now, that is not salvation: those two things are the effects of salvation.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
True prayer is measured by weight, not by length
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must mark God's providence leading us and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the thermometer of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Be assured, there is nothing new in theology except that which is false.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that every Christian ought to be joined to some visible church that is his plain duty, according to the Scriptures. God’s people are not dogs, else they might go about one by one but they are sheep, and therefore they should be in flocks.

Image
A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass.

Image
A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Faith is reason at rest in God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.

Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the God of all grace.
