Charles Spurgeon Quotes

Theres some inherently unique characteristics of Christianity, the chief of which is that Christianity teaches that we are saved by what Christ has done for us, instead of we are saved by what we do for God.

Mormonism is obsessed with Christ, and everything that it teaches is meant to awaken, encourage, and expand faith in him. […] I came to this conclusion when I read through the Book of Mormon for the first time. […] When I actually read this book … I was utterly surprised. I was not moved, mind you. The Book of Mormon has to be one of the most lackluster of all the great works of literature that have inspired enduring religious movements. Yet it is dull precisely because it is all about Jesus.

And not just Jesus: A whole gospel in all of its theological details—right down to debates about baptism, the relationship of law to grace, and the problem of divine foreknowledge—is taught to the people of the New World centuries before Jesus was even born.

The heart of the gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ.

O turn to Him [Jesus Christ], turn in a sense of your own unworthiness, and be not faithless, but believing.

We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.

Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.

The Gospel declares those who believe righteous and saved.

The gospel is the good news that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We have no right to come before God at all, apart from the finished work of Christ.
