More quotes by John Stott
The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are both costly exercises. All authentic Christian peacemaking exhibits the love and justice-and so the pain-of the cross.
John Stott
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
John Stott
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
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.
John Stott
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
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
Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins it is itself the essence of all sin.
John Stott
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
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
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
John Stott
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
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
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
John Stott
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
John Stott
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
John Stott
If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.
John Stott
We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
John Stott
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
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
