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
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
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
Theology is a serious quest for the true knowledge of God, undertaken in response to His self-revelation, illumined by Christian tradition, manifesting a rational inner coherence, issuing in ethical conduct, resonating with the contemporary world and concerned for the greater glory of God.
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
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
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
The hallmark of an authentic evangelicalism is not the uncritical repetition of old traditions but the willingness to submit every tradition, however ancient, to fresh biblical scrutiny and, if necessary, reform.
John Stott
The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
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
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.
John Stott
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
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
...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
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
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
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
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
