Charles Spurgeon Faith Quotations

Wash your face every morning in a bath of praise.

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

Faith obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession.

Men will never be great in theology until they are great in suffering.

It is not all darkness in a heart which can cry, "My God".

Great faith must have great trials.

Settle this in your heart: Whether I am up or down, the Lord Jesus is the same. Whether I sing or sigh, the promise is true and the Promiser is faithful. Whether I stand on the summit or am hidden in the vale the covenant stands fast and everlasting love abides.

We must do business in great waters; we must be really on the deck in a storm, if we would see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. We must have stood side by side with King David; we must have gone down into the pit to slay the lion or have lifted up the spear against the eight hundred, if we would know the saving strength of God's right hand. Conflicts bring experience, and experience brings that growth in grace which is not to be attained by any other means.

There should be as much difference between the worldling and the Christian, as between hell and heaven, between destruction and eternal life.

Faith is the silver thread upon which the pearls of the graces are to be hung. Break that, and you have broken the string - the pearls lie scattered on the ground.

Care more for a grain of faith than a ton of excitement.

A little faith will bring your soul to heaven; a great faith will bring heaven to your soul.

I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death.

The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.

Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.

Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.

When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.

If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.

If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.

To every soul that knows how to pray, to every soul that by faith comes to Jesus, the true mercy seat, divine sovereignty wears no dark and terrible aspect but is full of love.

In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?

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.

However weak we are, however poor, however little our faith, or however small our grace may be, our names are still written on His heart; nor shall we lose our share in Jesus' love.

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

Now I will say this to every sinner, though he should think himself to be the worst sinner who ever lived: cry to the Lord and seek Him while He may be found. A throne of grace is a place fitted for you. By simple faith, go to your Savior, for He is the throne of grace.
