Inspirational Quotes by Charles Spurgeon
“The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.”
― Charles Spurgeon ,
“The greatest of human actions will appear to be insignificant when we come to die, and especially those upon which men most pride themselves --these will yield them the bitterest humiliation. We shall then say what madmen we must have been to have wasted so much time and energy upon such paltry things. When we shall discover that they were not real, that they were but mere bubbles, mere pretences, we shall then look upon ourselves as demented to have spent the whole of our life and of our energy upon them.”
“Beloved Christian reader, in matters of grace you need a daily supply. You have no store of strength. Day by day you must seek help from above. It is a very happy assurance that you are provided with a regular allowance.”
― Charles Spurgeon ,
“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” — Proverbs 16:20”
“In one word, the great pillar of the Christian's hope is substitution. The vicarious sacrifice of Christ for the guilty, Christ being made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, Christ offering up a true and proper expiatory and substitutionary sacrifice in the room, place, and stead of as many as the Father gave him, who are known to God by name, and are recognized in their own hearts by their trusting in Jesus--this is the cardinal fact of the gospel.”
― Charles Spurgeon ,
from Morning and Evening
“Whatever our frame of mind, whether ecstasy or depression, David has exactly described our emotions.”
“the nearer a man lives to God the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart; and the more his Master honours him in His service, the more also doth the evil of the flesh vex and tease him day by day.”
“It is necessary to recognize the difference between punishment and discipline. Punishment and discipline may seem the same when measured by the suffering one endures. The suffering in this life may be no more for the person who is punished for his guilt, as the Christian who is only being disciplined by his Parent. The type of punishment may not seem any different, but there is a difference in the mind of the punisher. In one case, God punishes the sinner because he is angry with the sinner. Justice must be served, God’s law must be honored, and respect for him maintained. In the other, God does not punish the believer to satisfy his justice, but for the training of his child. He afflicts him to benefit him. His goal is to improve his child.”
“He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it.”
“O my Lord Jesus, answer no desire of mine if it be not according to thy judgment; and if in aught that I have asked I have failed to seek for what I want, amend my pleading, for thou art infinitely wiser than I.”
“If you ask for wealth, you may not get it; for it is a small and paltry[5] thing which the Lord may not care to give you. But if you ask for eternal life, you shall have it; for this is a great thing and God delights to give the greatest blessings to those who come to Him by Christ Jesus, so that what might seem to hinder should now encourage!”–1894, Sermon 2380 “If”
“If you have not faith enough in Christ to say that you believe in Him, I do not think that you have faith enough in Christ to take you to heaven. For it is written concerning the place of doom, ‘The fearful’ (that is, the cowardly) ‘and unbelieving…shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone’ ” (Rev 21:8).”
“Our prayer must always be, ‘Holy Spirit, dwell with me! Holy Spirit, dwell with Your servants!”
“Cast the burden of the present along with the sin of the past and the fear of the future upon the Lord.”
― Charles Spurgeon ,
“My own spirit, soul, and body are my nearest machinery for sacred service.”
― Charles Spurgeon ,
“El evangelio es desconocido, no por falta de explicación, sino por falta de revelación personal.”
“Blessed is that man who has done with chance,[3] who never speaks of luck, but believes that from the least even to the greatest, all things are ordained of the Lord.”
“A sleepy prayer–what can make people more dislike going up to the house of God at all? Cast your whole soul into the exercise. If ever your whole manhood was engaged in anything., let it be in drawing near unto God in public.”
― Charles Spurgeon ,
“Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
“Grace is at a low ebb in that soul, which can even raise the question of how far it may go in worldly conformity.”
