More quotes by George Whitefield
I would rather wear out than rust out.
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
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
To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
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
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
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
God has condescended to become an author, and yet people will not read his writings. There are very few that ever gave this Book of God, the grand charter of salvation, one fair reading through.
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
True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness.
George Whitefield
And now let me address all of you, high and low, rich and poor, one with another, to accept of mercy and grace while it is offered to you Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation and will you not accept it, now it is offered unto you?
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
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
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
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
Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross.
George Whitefield
Dare, dare, my dear brethren in Christ, to follow the Captain of your salvation, who was made perfect through sufferings
George Whitefield
God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.
George Whitefield
I am never better than when I am on the full stretch for God.
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.
