More quotes by John Stott
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
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
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
John Stott
Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins it is itself the essence of all sin.
John Stott
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
We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
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
Theology is a serious quest for the true knowledge of God, undertaken in response to His self-revelation, illumined by Christian tradition, manifesting a rational inner coherence, issuing in ethical conduct, resonating with the contemporary world and concerned for the greater glory of God.
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
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
The gospel creates the church, which spreads the gospel, which creates more churches, which in turn spread the gospel further ad infinitum.
John Stott
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
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
John Stott
The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
John Stott
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
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
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
