Good works are indispensable to salvation - not as its ground or means, however, but as its consequence and evidence.
John Stott
Image
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
John Stott
Image
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John Stott
Image
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.'

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
John Stott

A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
Image
...The first and great evidence of our walking by the Spirit or being filled with the Spirit is not some private mystical experience of our own, but our practical relationships of love with other people.
John Stott

Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.
John Stott
Image
All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
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
Image
Christian people should surely have been in the vanguard of the movement for environmental responsibility, because of our doctrines of creation and stewardship. Did God make the world? Does he sustain it? Has he committed its resources to our care? His personal concern for his own creation should be sufficient to inspire us to be equally concerned.
John Stott
Image
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
Image
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
John Stott
Image
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
Image
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
Image
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

Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
John Stott

The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.

We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
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.
