A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.

More quotes by John Stott
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
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
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
John Stott
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
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
John Stott
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
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
John Stott
Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins it is itself the essence of all sin.
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
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
John Stott
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
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
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
Prayer is the very way God Himself has chosen for us to express our conscious need of Him and our humble dependence on Him.
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
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
John Stott
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.'
