“Más aún, nuestro apóstol habla del único Dios. Él es tan únicamente sabio que salva a los pecadores y los convierte en muestras de su misericordia; tan únicamente sabio que toma a los intolerantes y a los perseguidores y los convierte en apóstoles; tan únicamente sabio que hace que la ira del hombre le alabe y usa la propia maldad del hombre como una superficie para mostrar el brillo de la gloria de su gracia. Al único Dios sabio, lo suficientemente sabio para convertir a un león en un cordero, lo suficientemente sabio para convertir a un pecador en un santo, a un perseguidor en un predicador, a un enemigo en un amigo, a Él sea la gloria.”

He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
