More quotes by John Stott
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
John Stott
We are sent into the world, like Jesus, to serve. For this is the natural expression of our love for our neighbors. We love. We go. We serve.
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
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
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
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
Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
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
God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
John Stott

John Stott
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
John Stott
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
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
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
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
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
John Stott
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
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
