By Charles Spurgeon
If to do the right, and to believe the true, should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will count it but a small loss, since his great Friend in heaven will be yet more friendly.
Spiritual thirst is bitter to bear, but we need not bear it—the promise indicates a well; let us be of good heart, and look for it.
If God has justified a man it is well done, it is rightly done, it is justly done, it is everlastingly done.
When a man is anxious he cannot pray with faith; when he is troubled about the world, he cannot serve his Master.
There is life in a look at the Crucified One, there is life at this moment for thee.
Why should not every year be richer than the past, in love, and usefulness, and joy?
Do not refuse the Lord Jesus who knocks at your door; for He knocks with a hand which was nailed to the tree for such as you are.
Be wise and attend to the obeying, and let Christ manage the providing.
Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are already saved.
He who gives faith strengthens and establishes it: He who kindles love in us preserves it and increases its flame.
When we serve our Lord Jesus as believers should do, our God is with us; and though we have the whole world against us, if we have God with us, what does it matter?
Christ Jesus has no quarrel with his spouse. She often wanders from him, and grieves his Holy Spirit, but he does not allow her faults to affect his love.
Who knows but the set time of blessing is come for you?
A jealous and holy distrust of self may give rise to the question even in the believer’s heart, but the continuance of such a doubt would be an evil indeed.
Death must sever the conjugal tie between the most loving mortals, but it cannot divide the links of this immortal marriage.
The carnal mind always maps out for itself a way in which self can work and become great, but the Lord’s way is quite the reverse.
Eternity shall not discover the shadow of a spot in our Beloved, but rather, as ages revolve, his hidden glories shall shine forth with yet more inconceivable splendour.
God will spare the sinner because He did not spare His Son.
He sometimes chides, but it is always in the tenderest manner, with the kindest intentions: it is ‘my love’ even then.
When I was anxious about the possibility of a just God pardoning me, I understood and saw by faith that He who is the Son of God became man, and in His own blessed person bore my sin in His own body on the tree. I saw the chastisement of my peace was laid on Him, and that with His stripes I was healed.
