Charles Spurgeon Quotes

I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

There is no other salvation except that which begins and ends with grace.

Grace alone brings about every good work in us.

You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.

The overwhelming emphasis of contemporary Christianity: "Just do it." The overwhelming emphasis of Biblical Christianity: "It is finished"

Grace is the truth that Jesus came to give us.

I [will] not go to heaven because I am a preacher. I am going to heaven entirely on the merit of the work of Christ.

The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.

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.

Grace stands in direct opposition to any supposed worthiness on our part. To say it another way: Grace and works are mutually exclusive. As Paul said in Romans 11:6, "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." Our relationship with God is based on either works or grace. There is never a works-plus-grace relationship with Him.

I believe when I leave this earth, because I love the Lord, I am going straight to Heaven.

Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.

I believe in God and his son, Jesus.

Grace is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against him.

This one word 'grace' contains within itself the whole of New Testament theology.

Good people don't go to heaven. Forgiven people go to heaven.

Right now if this preacher died he would go to heaven. Not because I spent years in the jungles and the Andes Mountains of Peru. Not because of piety, devotion or bible study. Not because of denominational affiliation, baptism, or participation in the Lord’s supper. If I died right now, I would go to heaven because two thousand years ago the Son of God shed His blood for this wretched man. And that is my hope.

The child of God knows his good works do not make him acceptable to God, for he was acceptable to God by Jesus Christ long before he had any good works.

I think when you look at every other religion all over the world - its works based - you have to earn your way to the Kingdom. With Jesus, it's so different because we, Christians, didn't do anything to deserve Him. He literally died for us and saved us! There's nothing else like that in the world. There is no other God like that! That's why I believe in Him! And I'm thankful its not up to me, because I fail every single day but He's there to give us grace - and that's an amazing thing!

It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.

Grace is God's love in action for those who don't deserve it.

A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.

Grace is the only thing that is ever enough.

There is no way to work your way to God. There is no way to climb up to heaven. There is only one way, and that is through Christ.

The gospel declares that no matter how dutiful or prayerful we are, we can't save ourselves. What Jesus did was sufficient.
