Man is nothing he hath a free will to go to hell, but none to go to heaven, till God worketh in him and you dishonour God by denying election. You plainly make salvation depend, not on God's 'free grace' but on Man's 'free will.'

More quotes by George Whitefield
Numberless marks does man bear in his soul, that he is fallen and estranged from God but nothing gives a greater proof thereof, than that backwardness, which every one finds within himself, to the duty of praise and thanksgiving.
George Whitefield
We must all have the spirit of martyrdom, though we may not all die martyrs.
George Whitefield
Lord Jesus, I am weary in Thy work, but not of it. If I have not yet finished my course, let me go and speak for Thee once more in the field, seal Thy truth, and come home to die.
George Whitefield
It is an undoubted truth that every doctrine that comes from God, leads to God and that which doth not tend to promote holiness is not of God.
George Whitefield
Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer.
George Whitefield
How sweet is rest after fatigue! How sweet will heaven be when our journey is ended.
George Whitefield
There are many likewise, who go on in a round of duties, a model of performances, that think they shall go to heaven but if you examine them, though they have a Christ in their heads, they have no Christ in their hearts.
George Whitefield
People want to recommend themselves to God by their sincerity they think, 'If we do all we can, if we are but sincere, Jesus Christ will have mercy on us.' But pray what is there in our sincerity to recommend us to God? ... therefore, if you depend on your sincerity for your salvation, your sincerity will damn you.
George Whitefield
The riches of His free grace cause me daily to triumph over all the temptations of the wicked one, who is very vigilant, and seeks all occasions to disturb me.
George Whitefield
Come poor, lost, undone sinner, come just as you are to Christ.
George Whitefield
The true believer can no more live without prayer, than without food day by day.
George Whitefield
Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.
George Whitefield
Christ is worth all, or he is worth nothing.
George Whitefield
What! Get to heaven on your own strength? Why, you might as well try to climb to the moon on a rope of sand!
George Whitefield
Various are the pleas and arguments which men of corrupt minds frequently urge against yielding obedience to the just and holy commands of God.
George Whitefield
The reason why congregations have been so dead is, because they had dead men preaching to them. O that the Lord may quicken and revive them! How can dead men beget living children?
George Whitefield
I say salvation is the free gift of God. It is God's free grace, I preach unto you, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Jesus Christ justifies the ungodly. Jesus Christ passed by and saw you polluted with your blood and bid you live.
George Whitefield
He [Jesus Christ] loves to see poor sinners coming to Him, He is pleased to see them lie at His feet pleading His promises and if you thus come to Christ, He will not send you away without His Spirit no, but will receive and bless you.
George Whitefield
I am tired in the Lord's work, but not tired of it.
George Whitefield
If you know Christ and him crucified, you know enough to make you happy, supposing you know nothing else. And without this, all your other knowledge cannot keep you from being everlastingly miserable.
