Quotes from Charles Spurgeon

Death is no punishment to the believer: it is the gate of endless joy.

We have communion with Christ in His thoughts, views, and purposes; for His thoughts are our thoughts according to our capacity and sanctity. Believers take the same view of matters as Jesus does; that which pleases Him pleases them, and that which grieves His grieves them also.

I have no faith in that woman who talks of grace and glory abroad, and uses no soap and water at home. Let the buttons be on the shirts, let the children's socks be mended, let the roast mutton be done to a turn, let the house be as neat as a new pin, and the home be as happy as home can be.

Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.

It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.

It is not faith in Christ that saves you (though faith is the instrument) - it is Christ's blood and merits.

FAITH untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials.

Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.

Faith is the fountain, the foundation and the fosterer of obedience.

This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.

Faith pulls the black mask from the face of trouble, and discovers the angel beneath.

Day by day, we are becoming what we shall be eternally. The spirit who convicts us is also the spirit who consoles.

We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.

When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.

Faith is led confidently to expect what reason would never suggest.

Grow in the root of all grace, which is faith. Believe God's promises more firmly than ever. Allow your faith to increase in its fullness, firmness, and simplicity.

Every Christian has a choice between being humble or being humbled.

When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?
