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
Let us, therefore, not be weary of well-doing for we shall reap an eternal harvest of comfort, if we faint not.
George Whitefield
The righteousness of Jesus Christ is one of those great mysteries, which the angels desire to look into, and seems to be one of the first lessons that God taught men after the fall.
George Whitefield
Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer.
George Whitefield
I offer you salvation this day the door of mercy is not yet shut, there does yet remain a sacrifice for sin, for all that will accept of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will embrace you in the arms of His love.
George Whitefield
The Lord Jesus sits in heaven, ruling over all, and causing all things to work for his children's good.
George Whitefield
Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross.
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
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
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
All I can say is I look for perpetual conflicts and struggles in this life, and I hope for no other peace, only a cross, while on this side of eternity.
George Whitefield
Had I a hundred hands, I could employ them all. The harvest is very great. I am ashamed I can do no more for him who has done so much for me.
George Whitefield
You blame me for weeping, but how can I help it when you will not weep for yourselves, though your immortal souls are on the verge of destruction.
George Whitefield
My prayer today is that God would make me an extraordinary Christian.
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
To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
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
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
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
Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.
