More quotes by John Stott
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
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
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
Baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.
John Stott
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
John Stott
There is evidence for the deity of Jesus -- good, strong, historical , cumulative evidence evidence to which an honest person can subscribe without committing intellectual suicide.
John Stott
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
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
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 church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
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
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
John Stott
Good works are indispensable to salvation - not as its ground or means, however, but as its consequence and evidence.
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
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
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
Prayer is not a convenient device for imposing our will upon God, or bending his will to ours, but the prescribed way of subordinating our will to his.
John Stott
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
