Charles Spurgeon Doe Quotations

You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.

God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?

A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.

Jesus Christ does not save the worthy, but the unworthy. Your plea must not be righteousness but guilt

It is wonderful how God works by our hands, and yet His own hand does it all.

The grace that does not change my life will not save my soul.

As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.

Grace does not choose a man and leave him as he is.

A man who does nothing never has time to do anything

Affliction hardens those whom it does not soften.

Anger does a man more hurt than that which made him angry.

If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.

He who does not love sinners cannot pray aright for them.

It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.

The existence of hypocrites does not prove the non-existence of true believers.

Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?

He who does not serve God where he is would not serve God anywhere else.

I will do as much as I can, says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.

Hell itself does not contain greater monsters of iniquity than you and I might become. Within the magazine of our hearts there is power enough to destroy us in an instant, if omnipotent grace did not prevent

If God does not save men by truth, he certainly will not save them by lies. And if the old gospel is not competent to work a revival, then we will do without the revival.

If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.

Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.

If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it; get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.

Where the plow does not go and the seed is not sown, the weeds are sure to multiply.

The fact is, we sometimes read Scripture, thinking of what it ought to say, rather than what it does say.

The child of God works not for life, but from life; he does not work to be saved, but works because he is saved

He who does not long to know more of Christ, knows nothing of him yet.

If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.
