C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

GOD -HATRED

We cannot love God without hating that which he hates. TD97:10 He will not hate his people, but he does hate their sins, and hates them all the more because they nestle in his children’s bosoms. 738.122 A sinner is disgusting to God. Notwithstanding all the love that he has towards men, and his desi... Read More

GOD -HOLINESS OF

The most spiritual and sanctified minds, when they fully perceive the majesty and holiness of God, are so greatly conscious of the great disproportion between themselves and the Lord, that they are humbled and filled with holy awe, and even with dread and alarm. 1028.4 Brethren, a pure and holy God ...

Perfect stability belongs alone to God; he alone, of all beings, is without variableness or shadow of a turning. He is immutable; he will not change. He is all-wise; he need not change.

GOD -JOY OF

“The gospel of the happy God.” Have you ever considered how happy God must be! how supremely happy? No care, no sorrow, can ever pass across his infinite mind. He is serenely blessed evermore. Now, when a man is miserable, and of a miserable turn of mind, he as naturally makes people miserable, as a... Read More

GOD -JUSTICE OF

God’s mill grinds slowly, but it grinds to powder. Justice loiters to commune with mercy, but it speedily makes up for its lingering. 1125.434 A God who could pardon without justice might one of these days condemn without reason. 1173.285 God would not even for mercy’s sake issue an unjust pardon to...

GOD -LONGSUFFERING OF

There is no greater proof of the omnipotence of God, than his longsuffering; for it shows the greatest possible power for God to be able to control himself, to be able to keep in an anger which naturally must boil, and restrain a fury which else must burn. 466.477 God has great leisure. He lives not... Read More

GOD -LOVE OF

Divine love had no beginning. Yon stars are babes whose eyes but yesterday were open to the light, and yonder mountains are infants newly born; but as for God’s love, it is coeval with His own existence, and the objects of it are always the same. BA158 You can trace the beginning of human affection;... Read More

GOD -MAJESTY OF

It is not possible that mortal men should be thoroughly conscious of the divine presence without being filled with awe. 1474.278 It is not given to such frail creatures as we are to stand in the full blaze of Godhead, even though it be tempered by the mediation of Christ, without crying out with the...

GOD -MERCY OF

Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old.

GOD -OMNIPRESENCE OF

He is no petty deity, presiding, as the heathen imagined their gods to do, over some one nation, or one department of nature. TD96:4 Wherever thou art, and whatever thou lookest upon, thou art in God’s workshop, where every wheel is turned by his hand. Everything is not God, but God is in everything... Read More

GOD -OMNISCIENCE OF

Man is all outside to God. With heaven there are no secrets. That which is done in the private chamber of the heart is as public as the streets before the all-seeing eye.

GOD -PROMISES OF

Every honest man has a right to credence, and much more does the God of truth deserve it. AP46 Moreover, it is a charming thought that our good God designedly gives us promises of good things that we may enjoy them twice; first by faith, and then by fruition. AP51 The promises exceed all measurement... Read More

GOD -PROVIDENCE OF

To suppose that temporal things are too little for our condescending God, is to forget that he observes the flight of sparrows, and counts the hairs of his people’s heads. Besides, everything is so little to him, that, if he does not care for the little, he cares for nothing. AP102 With God there ar... Read More

GOD -PROVISION OF

Each day, though it bring its trouble, shall bring its help; and though you should live to outnumber the years of Methuselah, and though your needs should be as many as the sands of the seashore, yet shall God’s grace and mercy last through all your necessities, and you shall never know a real lack....

GOD -PUNCTUALITY OF

How strikingly punctual providence is! You and I make appointments, and miss them by half-an-hour; but God never missed an appointment yet. God never is before his time, though we often wish he were; but he never is behind, no, not by one tick of the clock. 760.392... Read More

GOD -SOVEREIGNTY OF

We are too insignificant to be of any great importance in God’s vast universe; He can do either with us or without us, and our presence or absence will not disarrange His plans.
