Top Highlights
“There was faith in this ruler, and hence we read, ‘And Jesus went with him.’ Faith ensures the aid of Jesus without delay, and if you and I can trust him he will go with us. Friend, canst thou rely on Jesus? Then shall it be written of thee also, ‘And Jesus went with him.’” (Page 37)
“Antinomianism as that may God deliver us. We are not under the law as the method of salvation, but we delight to see the law in the hand of Christ, and desire to obey the Lord in all things.” (Page 277)
“To show that he never meant to abrogate the law, our Lord Jesus has embodied all its commands in his own life.” (Page 281)
“Secondly, the law has been fulfilled again for us by Christ in his life” (Page 287)
“Well, now, if God loves us so, shall we not love him? Awake, O heart that sleeps! Awake, awake, and give back to God all the love of which thou art capable. And shall we not love poor sinners for Christ’s sake? Shall we not try to love them to the Saviour? The greatest converting power in the world next to the Holy Spirit is the power of human love. Men are never saved by scolding, and an angry preacher is not likely to bring many to a loving Saviour. We must love sinners so much that they must be saved, or we will break our hearts. When we get to that, God will make us to be instruments in his hands of gathering in his chosen. Let us turn into flames of love.” (Pages 419–420)
About Charles Spurgeon
Charles Spurgeon was born in Kelvedon, Essex, England on June 19, 1834. He converted to Christianity in 1850 at a small Methodist chapel, to which he detoured during a snowstorm. While there, he heard a sermon on Isaiah 45:22 and was saved—“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else.” He began his own ministry of preaching and teaching immediately, and preached more than 500 sermons by the age of twenty.
In 1854, at nineteen years of age, Spurgeon began preaching at the New Park Street Chapel in London. He was appointed to a six month trial position, which he requested be cut to three months should the congregation dislike his preaching. He gained instant fame, however, and the church grew from 232 members to more than five thousand at the end of his pastorate. Many of his sermons were published each week and regularly sold more than 25,000 copies in twenty languages. Throughout his ministry, Spurgeon estimated that he preached to more than 10,000,000 people. Dwight L. Moody was deeply influenced by Spurgeon’s preaching, and founded the Moody Bible Institute after seeing Spurgeon’s work at the Pastor’s College in London.
Spurgeon read six books per week during his adult life, and read Pilgrim’s Progress more than 100 times. In addition to his studying and preaching, Spurgeon also founded the Pastor’s College (now Spurgeon’s College), various orphanages and schools, mission chapels, and numerous other social institutions.
Charles Spurgeon suffered from poor health throughout his life. He died on January 31, 1892, and was buried in London.
