More quotes by John Stott

Image
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself. He bore the judgment we deserve in order to bring us the forgiveness we do not deserve. On the cross divine mercy and justice were equally expressed and eternally reconciled. God's holy love was 'satisfied.'

In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?
John Stott
Image
The law requires works of human achievement the gospel requires faith in Christ's achievement. The law makes demands and bids us obey the gospel brings promises and bids us believe.
John Stott

Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.

Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott

It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.
John Stott
Image
The major mark of justified believers is joy, especially joy in God himself. We should be the most positive people in the world. For the new community of Jesus Christ is characterized not by a self-centered triumphalism but by a God-centered worship.

We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
John Stott

Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott

A Christian's freedom from anxiety is not due to some guaranteed freedom from trouble, but to the folly of worry and especially to the confidence that God is our Father, that even permitted suffering is within the orbit of His care.
John Stott
Image
A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
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
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
John Stott
Image
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
Image
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
Image
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
Image
At every step of our Christian development and in every sphere of our Christian discipleship, pride is the greatest enemy and humility our greatest friend.
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

It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
