Charles Spurgeon Lines Quotations

If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.

The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The "divine service" is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.

Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.

Love for God is obedience; love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.

Christ is the great central fact in the world's history. To Him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon Him.

Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple.

We fear not God because of any compulsion; our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.

Periodical godliness is perpetual hypocrisy.

Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.

The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.
