More quotes by John Stott
Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross.
John Stott
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
John Stott
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
Moved by the perfection of His holy love, God in Christ substituted Himself for us sinners. That is the heart of the cross of Christ.
John Stott
The concept of substitution lies at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man.
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
John Stott
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
John Stott
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
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
We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
John Stott
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
John Stott
For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God [Gen. 3:1-7], while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man [2 Cor. 5:21]. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
John Stott
We do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to come: he came on the day of Pentecost. He has never left the church.
John Stott
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John Stott
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account. We should not therefore rate human opinion too highly.
John Stott
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
John Stott
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott
Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.
John Stott
