More quotes by 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
God is well pleased when all our actions proceed from love, love to Himself, and love to immortal souls.
George Whitefield
Come poor, lost, undone sinner, come just as you are to Christ.
George Whitefield
We can preach the Gospel of Christ no further than we have experienced the power of it in our own hearts
George Whitefield
Let the name of Whitefield perish, but Christ be glorified

God enabled me to speak with the demonstration of the Spirit, and with power.
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.

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
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
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
Pray that I may be very little in my own eyes, and not rob my dear Master of any part of his glory.
George Whitefield
Dare, dare, my dear brethren in Christ, to follow the Captain of your salvation, who was made perfect through sufferings
George Whitefield
It is God alone who can subdue and govern the unruly wills of sinful men.
George Whitefield
Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.
George Whitefield
What could the Lord Jesus Christ have done for you more than he has? Then do not abuse his mercy, but let your time be spent in thinking and talking of the love of Jesus, who was incarnate for us, who was born of a woman, and made under the law, to redeem us from the wrath to come.
George Whitefield
How sweet is rest after fatigue! How sweet will heaven be when our journey is ended.
