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.”
If anyone asks me, “In what respect are believers saved?” I answer that they are saved in the price, the promise, the principles, and the pledge of salvation.
Our Saviour said to his disciples, “My soul is extremely sorrowful, even to death”.
The first lesson is that all sinners are debtors to God; and the second is, that some sinners are greater debtors to God than others are.
Our blessed Master is to be imitated in that he sought retirement when he was about to enter into the great struggle of his life.
Everything about a true Christian is marvellous. He is a marvel to himself, and a marvel to all who are around him.
We believe that, in the latter days, according to the Word of God, men will flock to Christ in far greater numbers than they have done so far.
God is glorious; that is, glory is given to him, — he is admired, he is beloved, he is adored. Every attribute of God has glory through its display of himself.
The covenant of works is broken, and all hope of our being saved by it is gone for ever. Blessedly, there is a second covenant made with the Lord Jesus Christ.
God’s ways are diverse. God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesus Christ act sovereignly, and do not choose to follow one particular mode of action.
Oh, that better times might come, when kings would rule in righteousness!
Religion is a thing that can make the most melancholy joyful, at the same time that it can make the joyful ones even more joyful.
You, who have not believed in our Lord Jesus Christ, have no rest to which you can return, for you have never found any.
We are not only God’s adopted children; if we are indeed born from above, we are God’s new-born children.
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come into the world to seek his own honour, but to seek and to save the lost.
Our Lord Jesus wanted to bless someone; he had seen Zacchaeus, and he knew what his occupation was, and what his sin was, and he felt that he must bless him.
The Hebrew bears the interpretation, “I will speak to her heart.” God speaks right from his heart into our hearts!
You must never forget that, as soon as we are saved, we come under the discipline of Christ, and a part of that discipline lies in the exercise of patience.
“I am the door.” Is there no other entrance, then, into the divine mercy? No, for he says, “I am the door: by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved.”
Our Lord Jesus Christ has gone to heaven, he says, so that he may prepare a place for his servants.
It is, in the first place, a door of hope, because it shows that you are one whom Christ invites to come to him.
What a great mystery is Providence, even to us who believe in a future state!
It is God who writes intercession on men’s hearts. All true prayer comes from him, but especially that least selfish and most Christ-like form of prayer called intercession.
Just as we are lost through one, so we are saved through one.
You have lived for yourself, and hence have been an enemy of the Most High. Confess that to the Lord, but do not bring against yourself a self-accusation which is not true in God’s sight.
These sermons from Charles Spurgeon are a series that is for reference and not necessarily a position of Answers in Genesis. Spurgeon did not entirely agree with six days of creation and dives into subjects that are beyond the AiG focus (e.g., Calvinism vs. Arminianism, modes of baptism, and so on).
