Spurgeon Faith Quotes

(note: These quotes, any many more, were compiled in the book Through the Eyes of C.H. Spurgeon: Quotes From A Reformed Baptist Preacher by Stephen McCaskell, Tim Challies)
__________________________________________________________________________

The world hangs on nothing; but faith cannot hang upon itself, it must hang on Christ

Until a man receives faith, he may think that he has it— but when he has real faith in Jesus Christ, then he shudders as he thinks how long he has lived in unbelief— and realizes how much of unbelief is still mixed with his belief

Faith in the storm is true faith! Faith in a calm may be, or may not be, genuine faith

Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive

No faith brings greater glory to God than the faith of the audaciously guilty when they dare to believe that God can forgive them

It is not the strength of your faith that saves you, but the strength of Him upon whom you rely! Christ is able to save you if you come to Him— be your faith weak or be it strong

It is possible for even a good man to fail one who trusts him, but it is quite impossible for God to fail the soul that has relied upon Him
