More quotes by John Stott
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
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
A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
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.'
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
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
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
Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
John Stott
Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.
John Stott
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
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
Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins it is itself the essence of all sin.
John Stott
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott
A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
John Stott
In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?
John Stott
Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known.
John Stott
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
John Stott
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
