Charles Spurgeon Doctrine Quotations

To preach the gospel is to stae every doctrine contained in God's word, and to give every truth its proper prominence.

Whatever may be said about the doctrine of election, it is written in the Word of God as with an iron pen, and there is no getting rid of it.

The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again.

I believe certain doctrines because God says they are true; and the only authority I have for their truth is the Word of God. I receive such and such doctrines, not because I can prove them to be compatible with reason, not because my judgment accepts them, but because God says they are true. Now this is one of the best services we can render to God,-to submit ourselves to him in our belief of what he has revealed, and ask him to fix his truths in our hearts, and make us obey them.

The doctrines some now preach could not build a mouse-trap.

If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.

Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.

It is no novelty, then, that I am preaching; no new doctrine. I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are surely and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus.

The grandest discourse ever delivered is an ostentatious failure if the doctrine of the grace of God be absent from it.
