CSB Spurgeon Study Bible Quotes

“Since we are helpless sinners, salvation must be a free gift. God bestows it on people without regard to any merit—supposed or real. Grace has to do with the guilty. Grace by its nature is not a proper gift for the righteous and deserving but for the undeserving and sinful.”

“We must not be satisfied with feeding the soul by meditation but rise up from the banquet and use the strength we have gained. Sitting at the feet of Jesus must be succeeded by following in the footsteps of Jesus.”

“This text also shows that God is in events that are produced by people’s sin and stupidity. This breaking up of the kingdom of Solomon into two parts was the result of Solomon’s sin and Rehoboam’s folly, yet God was in it. God had nothing to do with the sin or the folly, but in some way that we can never explain—in a mysterious way in which we are to believe without hesitation—God was in it all. The most notable instance of this truth of God is the death of our Lord Jesus Christ; that was the greatest of human crimes, yet it was foreordained and predetermined by the Most High—to whom there can be no such thing as crime nor any sort of compact with sin. We know not how it is, but it is an undoubted fact that a thing may be from God and yet it may be worked, as we see in this case, by human folly and wickedness.”

“If anyone should ask us, “When anything is according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, how can God blame the doer of it?” we may ask the inquirer to say what the difficulty is. The inspired apostle Peter could see none, but when he was most vehement in charging these hearers with guilt, yet at the same time he said it was by God’s determined plan and foreknowledge. Surely Peter would have been a bad pleader to introduce into his argument anything that could be readily construed into an excuse for those he was accusing. But there is no real excuse in it; the free agency of humans is as true as the predestination of God. The two truths stand fast forever. It is the folly of people to imagine that these two disagree. If we do wrong, we are accountable for the wrong. And that there is a providence who ordains everything does not take away from any person the full responsibility for anything he or she does.”

“Spurgeon famously observed that the Word of God is like a lion. You do not have to defend it but need only let it loose and it will defend itself. He was convinced the Word of God can take care of itself and that the answer to every objection against the Bible is the Bible.”

“Then they collected seven large baskets of leftover pieces.” Jesus is the great master of the art of multiplication. However small is the amount with which we begin, we have only to dedicate it all to him, and he will multiply and increase it until it will go far beyond our utmost expectations, and there will be more left over than there was before it began. Let us bring our small talents. For when we bring the little grace we have to Jesus, he can so increase it that we will never know any lack.”

“Without faith we are without Christ and, consequently, without a Savior. It would be infinitely better to be without eyes, without hearing, without wealth, without bread, without garments, without a home rather than to be without the faith that brings everything the soul requires.”

“None are truly Christ’s but those who persevere in grace. Temporary Christians are not really Christians.”

“Christ could not be a perfect sympathizer unless he bore our suffering. He did not look at sin from the distance of heaven, but he walked and lived in the midst of it. He knows all shapes of suffering: disease, sickness, poverty, need, friendlessness, hopelessness, desertion. You cannot cast human suffering into any shape that is new to Christ. In him there is every pang that tears the heart, every grief that forces tears from the eyes. Everything that is inevitable to flesh and blood, to hearts that break, and spirits that are depressed, Jesus knows.”

“Christians can never count on a moment’s peace. If we were of the world, the world would love us as its own, but because we as true saints are not of the world, the world hates us.”

“But he gives greater grace. Therefore he says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. D 7 Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”
