Inspirational Quotes by Warren Wiersbe
“True salvation is free of works and totally dependent upon God’s grace.”
“Your life is only as big as your faith, and your faith is only as big as your God. If you spend all your time looking at yourself, you will get discouraged, but if you look to God by faith, you will be encouraged.”
“The secret of joy in spite of circumstances is the single mind. The secret of joy in spite of people is the submissive mind.”
“The world was never conquered by intrigue; it was conquered by faith.”
“We are not saved by making promises to God but by believing the promises of God.”
“Millions of believers think they are “spiritual” because of what they don’t do—or because of the leader they follow—or because of the group they belong to. The Lord shows us in Galatians how wrong we are—and how right we can be if only we would let the Holy Spirit take over.”
“Faith can never be satisfied with anything short of the true position and portion of God’s people,” wrote C. H. Mackintosh in his Notes on Numbers. “An undecided, half-and-half Christian is more inconsistent than an open, out-and-out worldling or infidel.”
“Submissive Mind (Phil. 2). This chapter focuses on people, and the key verse says, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better [more important] than themselves” (v. 3). In chapter 1, Paul puts Christ first. In this chapter, he puts others second. Which means he puts himself last! The reason people aggravate us so much is usually because we do not have our own way. If we go through life putting ourselves first, and others go through life putting themselves first, then at many points there are going to be terrific battles.”
“When circumstances become difficult and you are in the furnace of testing, remain where God has put you until He tells you to move. Faith moves in the direction of peace and hope, but unbelief moves in the direction of restlessness and fear. “He that believeth shall not make haste” (Isa. 28:16). In times of testing, the important question is not “How can I get out of this?” but “What can I get out of this?” (James 1:1–12). God is at work to build your faith. God alone is in control of circumstances. You are safer in a famine in His will than in a palace out of His will. It has well been said, “The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.” Abraham failed the test of circumstances and turned from the will of God.”
“Prayer is to the spiritual life what breathing is to the physical life, and if you stop breathing, you will faint.”
“The will of God comes from the heart of God (Ps. 33:11), and He delights to make it known to His children when He knows they are humble and willing to obey. We don’t seek God’s will like customers who look at options but like servants who listen for orders.”
“The secret is this: When you have the single mind, you look on your circumstances as God-given opportunities for the furtherance of the gospel, and you rejoice at what God is going to do instead of complaining about what God did not do.”
“we must be careful what we do with this gospel, for it is not the invention of men, but the very truth of God.”
“God has purposes to fulfill in you and through you, and He will do all that is necessary to make you succeed (Ps. 138:8; Phil. 1:6).”
“What grace! From heaven to earth, from glory to shame, from Master to servant, from life to death, “even the death of the cross”
“We never stand still in the Christian life; we either move forward in faith or go backward in unbelief.”
“Some people today still imagine that salvation is inherited. Because mother and father were godly people, the children are automatically saved. But this is not true. It has well been said, “God has no grandchildren.”
“When you are in the place of God’s choosing, you don’t ever need to be afraid, for faith and fear cannot dwell in the same heart (Isa. 12:2; Mark 4:40).”
“When you fear the Lord, you don’t need to fear people or circumstances. Peter referred to this passage when he wrote, “But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. ‘Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.’ But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord” (1 Peter 3:14–15 NIV). Isaiah compared the Lord to a sanctuary, a rock that is a refuge for believers”
“Satan is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44), and human nature is such that many people find it easier to tell lies than the truth.”
