Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day.
About Death, Spurgeon said:
“Depend upon it; there is no pain in dying. The pain is in living.”
“Men have been helped to live by remembering that they must die.”
“Death cures; it is the best medicine, for they who die are not only almost well, but also healed forever.”
“It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.”
About Despair Spurgeon said:
“With heights of joy in serving my Master I am happily familiar. But into the very depths of despair-such an inward sinking, as I cannot describe-I have likewise sunk. Yet I do know that my Redeemer lives, that the battle is sure, that the victory is safe.”
About Devil, Spurgeon said:
“I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to his face, and tell him that through God I am more than a match for him.”
“He can make men dance upon the brink of hell as though they were on the verge of heaven.”
About Eternity Spurgeon said:
“That only is worth my having which I can have forever. That only is worth my grasping which death cannot tear out of my hand.”
On faith He said:
“Little faith will bring your soul to heaven; great faith will bring heaven to your soul.”
On Forbearance Spurgeon said:
“Cultivate forbearance till your heart yields a fine crop of it. Pray for a short memory as to all unkindness.”
On Gospel Spurgeon said:
“We can learn nothing of the gospel except by feeling its truths. There are some sciences that may be learned by the head, but the science of Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart.”
On Hell, He said:
“It is shocking to reflect that a change in the weather has more effect on some men’s lives than the dread alternative of heaven or hell.”
On Holiness He said:
“I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness that remains in him.”
“Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God builds up His living temple.”
On Hypocrisy Spurgeon said:
“Of all the things in the world that stink in the nostrils of men, hypocrisy is the worst.”
“When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you
may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.”
About Jesus, Spurgeon said:
“This is the very essence of true religion-personally living with a personal Savior, personally trusting a personal Redeemer, personally crying out to a personal Intercessor, and receiving personal answers from a Person who loves us, and who manifests himself to us.”
“Jesus is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created him.”
On Joy of Salvation, Spurgeon said:
“I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer’s blood.”
