More quotes by John Stott

Image
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
John Stott
Image
Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
John Stott
Image
All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
John Stott
Image
So, because in no other person but Jesus of Nazareth did God first become human (in his birth), then bear our sins (in his death), then conquer death (in his resurrection) and then enter his people (by his Spirit), he is uniquely able to save sinners. Nobody else has his qualifications.
John Stott

The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
Image
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
Image
In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?
John Stott
Image
The cross is not just a badge to identify us...it is also the compass which gives us our bearings in a disoriented world.
John Stott
Image
The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are both costly exercises. All authentic Christian peacemaking exhibits the love and justice-and so the pain-of the cross.
John Stott
Image
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
Image
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
Image
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
Image
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
John Stott
Image
The modern world detests authority but worships relevance. Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both authority and relevance, and that the secret of both is Jesus Christ
John Stott
Image
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
Image
Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
John Stott
Image
The hallmark of an authentic evangelicalism is not the uncritical repetition of old traditions but the willingness to submit every tradition, however ancient, to fresh biblical scrutiny and, if necessary, reform.
John Stott
Image
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
John Stott
Image
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
John Stott

It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
