More quotes by George Whitefield
You need not fear the greatness or number of your sins.

The care of the soul is 'a matter of the highest importance' beyond any thing which can be brought into comparison with it.
George Whitefield
I got more true knowledge from reading the Book of God in one month, than I could ever have acquired from all the writings of men.
George Whitefield
It is very remarkable, that in the book of life, we find some almost of all kinds of occupations, who notwithstanding served God in their respective generations, and shone as so many lights in the world.
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
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
Would ministers preach for eternity! They would then act the part of true Christian orators, and not only calmly and cooly inform the understanding, but, by persuasive, pathetic address, endeavour to move the affections and warm the heart.
George Whitefield
You might as reasonably expect to find a living man without breath, as a true Christian without the spirit of prayer and supplication.
George Whitefield
God, give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye, and then let men or devils do their worst!
George Whitefield

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
Let my name die everywhere, let even my friends forget me, if by that means the cause of the blessed Jesus may be promoted
George Whitefield
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.'
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
O poor New England! There is a deep laid plot against your civil and religious liberties, and they will be lost. Your golden days are at an end. You have nothing but trouble before you. . . . Your liberties will be lost.
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
Know, by sad experience, what it is to be lulled to sleep with a false peace. Long was I lulled asleep long did I think myself a Christian, when I knew nothing of the Lord Jesus Christ.
George Whitefield
Open your hearts as wide as ever you will, the Spirit of the Lord shall fill them.
George Whitefield
The Lord Jesus sits in heaven, ruling over all, and causing all things to work for his children's good.
