More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more to bleed, and die, and suffer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A well marked Bible is the sign of a well-fed soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the thermometer of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The angels did not merely sin and lose heaven, but they passed beyond all other beings in sin and made themselves fit denizens for hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I shall never understand, even in heaven, why the Lord Jesus should ever have loved me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God's glory, though it may not express itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head and humble prayer, yet it silently adores.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayerless souls are Christless souls, Christless souls are Graceless souls and Graceless souls shall soon be damned souls. See your peril, you that neglect altogether the blessed privilege of prayer! You are in the bonds of iniquity, you are in the gall of bitterness. God deliver you, for Hisname's sake!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not the bigness of the words you utter, but the force with which you deliver them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we come to the end of self we come to the beginning of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.
