More quotes by 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.
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
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
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
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
Dare, dare, my dear brethren in Christ, to follow the Captain of your salvation, who was made perfect through sufferings
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 am tired in the Lord's work, but not tired of it.
George Whitefield
Thus was the King and the Lord of glory judged by man's judgment, when manifest in flesh: far be it from any of his ministers to expect better treatment.
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
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
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
I began to read the Holy Scriptures upon my knees, laying aside all other books, and praying over, if possible, every line and word...I would be so overpowered with a sense of God's Infinite Majestey, that I would be contrained to throw myself on the ground, and offer my soul as a blank in His hands, to write on it what He pleased.
George Whitefield
You may have orthodox heads, and yet you may have the devil in your hearts.
George Whitefield
For it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.
George Whitefield
The true believer can no more live without prayer, than without food day by day.
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
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
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
To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
