The works of Charles Spurgeon have inspired millions of Christians around the world for over a hundred years. His wisdom and insight into God’s Word and world have helped others discover the richness of Scripture. Answers in Genesis is pleased to present the text of a large collection of sermons from this 19th century “Prince of Preachers.”

The apostle has proceeded through a simple but exceedingly forcible train of reasoning until he gains this glorious point—“Joint heirs with Christ.”
