THIS verse occurs in the epistle to the Galatians, which so plainly sets forth the grand doctrine of justification by faith, and teaches us most plainly that salvation is not of works, but of grace. As if to confound forever those who say that the doctrine of…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 1, 1893
THIS is the essence of the law, the spiritual side of it—its ten commandments are an enlargement of this verse. The law is spiritual and touches the thoughts, the intents, the emotions, the words, the actions—but specially God demands the heart. Now it is our…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 20, 1880
LET us go even unto Mahanaim and see these great sights. First, let us go with Jacob and see the two camps of angels, and then with David to observe his troops of friends.
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 12, 1868
I HAVE frequently heard these words addressed to an indiscriminate audience, and it has always struck me that they have thereby been twisted from their right meaning. These words, as they stand in the New Testament, contain no exhortation to all men, but are d…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 19, 1884
I SUSPECT that Elijah did not think very much of Obadiah. He does not treat him with any great consideration, but addresses him more sharply than one would expect from a fellow believer. Elijah was the man of action—bold, always to the front, with nothing to c…

GOD sent His servant Zechariah with a promise that Jerusalem should be rebuilt, and that it should enjoy a time of great peace and prosperity. Instead of men being slain in battle in the prime of their days, old men and old women were to dwell in the streets o…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 21, 1872
SOME have thought that this psalm was used as a soliloquy by our Lord when He was expiring upon the cross. It may be so. Fitter words could scarcely have been conceived, even by our Lord Himself. We must not, however, strain a point to establish a conjecture,…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 17, 1865
DIVINE truth is one, but it is many-sided, when you have looked at it from one point of view you may reverse your position, and though the truth at which you look will be the same, you will marvel at its freshness as seen from another aspect. This morning we s…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 6, 1887
“LAY hold on eternal life.” Observe that this precept is preceded by another—“Fight the good fight of faith.” Those who lay hold on eternal life will have to fight for it. The way of the spiritual life is no easy one; we shall have to contest every step of the…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 15, 1896
THIS is a very terrible psalm. It contains some prayers against the enemies of God and of His people that crash with the thunder of indignation. You know that we are bidden to love our enemies, but we are never commanded to love God’s enemies. We may not hate…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 14, 1901
TRUE repentance is always the gift of God and the work of the Holy Spirit in the soul. Man, left to himself, continues in sin. If he turns from his iniquity, it is because God turns him. By nature, his mind is set on mischief and if that mind be changed, as it…
Charles Spurgeon • May 16, 1907
THERE is no crime and there is no credit in being poor. Everything depends upon the occasion of the poverty. Some men are poor and are greatly to be pitied, for their poverty has come upon them without any fault of their own. God has been pleased to lay this b…

ONE feels most happy when blowing the trumpet of jubilee, proclaiming peace to broken hearts, freedom to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. But God’s watchman has another trumpet which he must sometimes blow, for thus saith the…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 4, 1891
THESE words may be used as a test as well as a text. They may serve for examination as well as consolation, and at the beginning of a year they may fulfill this useful double purpose. In any case they are full of marrow and fatness to those whose spiritual tas…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 15, 1871
WE have no difficulty whatever in deciding what that one thing is. We are not allowed to say that it is the Savior, for He is not a thing. And we are not permitted to say that it is attention to our own salvation, for, although that would be true, it is not me…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 13, 1903
ON another occasion I hope to preach from the words, “because they had no root,” but at this time, my subject is, “They sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth.” Every farmer knows the wonderful effect of heat below the soil, how quickly it makes thin…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 12, 1914
“GATHER the wheat into my barn.” Then the purpose of the Son of man will be accomplished. He sowed good seed, and He shall have His barn filled with it at the last. Be not dispirited, Christ will not be disappointed. “He shall see of the travail of His soul, a…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 3, 1877
OUR Savior’s advice to those who wished to be His disciples was, “Count the cost.” He did not wish to entice any man to enlist in His army by keeping him in ignorance as to the requirements of His service. Again and again He tested professed converts Himself,…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 5, 1899
ZION evidently attracted great attention in its own day and I suppose that the term “Zion” stood for the whole city. It was a city of many singularities and it was especially remarkable for its worship when Jerusalem was as it should be. It had a temple, but t…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 16, 1913
THE Jewish people had lived in Egypt and had been themselves slaves. They had, doubtless, learned much of art and science in Egypt, but they also learned many sinful manners and customs—and among the rest they learned the habit of slavery. When God found them…

THE Apostles had a stern task before them. They were to go into all nations and proclaim the gospel to every creature, beginning at Jerusalem. Remember, only two or three years before they were simple fishermen engaged upon the Galilean lake—men of little or n…

MARY had received a wonderful intimation from heaven of which she herself scarcely understood the full length and breadth. Her faith had apprehended a great promise which as yet her mind hardly comprehended. Her prayer, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 4, 1904
IT is a very blessed thing for a child of God to be anxious to glorify his Heavenly Father, whether his wish is realized or not. The strong desire to magnify God is acceptable to Him, and is an indication of spiritual health. It is certain, in the long run, to…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 27, 1876
THE Syrians had been defeated by the Israelites whom they despised. This victory had been achieved by so small a number of men over so vast a host that the Syrians were driven to the conclusion that there was something supernatural about it and they ascribed t…
