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
Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.
John Stott
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
John Stott
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
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
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
John Stott
An unchurched christian is a grotesque anomaly. The New Testament knows nothing of such a person. For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought. It is not an accident of history. On the contrary, the church is God's new community.
John Stott
The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion. Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.
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
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
John Stott
God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
John Stott
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
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
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousn ess, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.
John Stott
I believe that to preach or to expound the scripture is to open up the inspired text with such faithfulness and sensitivity that God’s voice is heard and His people obey Him
John Stott
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
If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.
John Stott
