More quotes by 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 continues to speak through what He has spoken.
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
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John Stott
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
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
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
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
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
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
We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
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
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
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
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
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
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
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
It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.
John Stott
