God's Promises Quotes

“As the rainbow is our assurance that the world shall never be destroyed by a flood, so is Jesus our assurance that the floods of human sin shall never drown the faithful kindness of the Lord.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“Perhaps, moreover, we have not yet displayed sufficient submission to the divine will. Patience has not yet had her perfect work. The weaning process is not accomplished: we are still hankering after the comforts which the Lord intends us forever to outgrow. Abraham made a great feast when his son Isaac was weaned; and, peradventure, our heavenly Father will do the same with us. Lie down, proud heart! Quit thine idols; forsake thy fond doting’s; and the promised peace will come unto thee.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“What is prayer but the promise pleaded? A promise is, so to speak, the raw material of prayer. Prayer irrigates the fields of life with the waters which are stored up in the reservoirs of promise. The promise is the power of prayer. We go to God, and we say to him, “Do as thou hast said. O Lord, here is thy word; we beseech thee fulfil it.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“The chosen of the Lord are led to relinquish the proud way of self and merit: they take to the road of faith, and so find rest unto their souls. To believe the word of God, and to trust in him whom God has sent to be our Saviour may seem a small thing; but indeed it is not so: it is the sign of election, the token of regeneration, the mark of coming glory. So to believe that God is true as to rest one’s eternal interests upon his promise, bespeaks a heart reconciled to God, a spirit in which the germ of perfect holiness is present.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he has sent (John 6:29). This is to say that the most divinely approved work possible is to believe in the Messiah. To trust in the Lord Jesus is the climax of virtue.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According to Promise

“The precious promises of our great God are distinctly intended to be taken to Him and exchanged for the blessings which they guarantee. Prayer takes the promise to the Bank of Faith and obtains the golden blessing. Take care how you pray. Make real business of it. Let it never be a dead formality. Some people pray a long time, but do not get what they are supposed to ask for because they do not plead the promise in a truthful, businesslike way. If you were to go into a bank and stand for an hour talking to the clerk, and then come out again without your cash, what would be the good of it? If I go to a bank, I pass my check across the counter, take my money, and go about my business. That is the best way of praying. Ask for what you need according to His will, because the Lord has promised it. Believe that you have the blessing, and go out to your work in full assurance of it. Get up from your knees singing because the promise is fulfilled. Then your prayer will be answered. It is not the length of your prayer, but the strength of your prayer that wins with God; and the strength of prayer lies in your faith in the promise which you have pleaded before the Lord.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

“Faith eradicates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

“Come, then, you who are without merit; Christ will be your merit. Come, you who have no righteousness; He will be your righteousness. Come, you who are full of sin, and the pardoning Lord will put away your sin. Come, you who are utterly desolate, and be made rich in Jesus.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

“The promises of grace flow from the boundless love of God, and from that alone. They could not have proceeded from any other source. No single person in all of mankind has any natural right to promises of blessing, nor can the whole world together deserve them. God has made promises to us of His own free will and good pleasure from no other motive but the love that lies within Himself.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

“The self-religionist and the believer in the promise may be members of the same church for years, but they are not agreed and cannot be happy together, for their principles are essentially opposed. As the believer grows in grace and enters upon his spiritual manhood, he will be more and more disagreeable to the religionist and the legalist, and ultimately the two have no fellowship with one another.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity

“We must come under the influence of the promise and live upon the promise.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According to Promise: God's Promises to Every Christian

“Today, the fiercest enemies of the truth of God are the aliens in our communion. These are they who make believers in sound evangelical teaching look like strangers in the Churches which were founded on the basis of scriptural doctrine. They make us foreigners in our own land. They are lenient to all manner of heresy; but the believer in the doctrines of grace they sneer at as old-fashioned and bigoted—a belated mortal who ought studiously to seek out a grave and bury himself.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According to Promise

“Jesus is the guarantee of the promises. He that spared not his own Son will deny nothing to his people. If he had ever thought of drawing back, he would have done so before he had made the infinite sacrifice of his only-begotten Son. Never can there be a suspicion that the Lord will revoke any one of the promises since he has already fulfilled the greatest and most costly of them all. “How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“Faith is not to be imitated by a quack, nor simulated by a hypocrite; but where it is real, and can grasp a divine promise with firm grip, it is a great wonder-worker. How I wish that my reader would so believe in God as to lean upon him in all the concerns of this life! This would lead him into a new world, and bring to him such confirmatory evidence as to the truth of our holy faith that he would laugh skeptics to scorn. Child-like faith in God provides sincere hearts with a practical prudence, which I am inclined to call—sanctified common-sense.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“When we know God we do not cease to wonder, but we begin to be at home with wonders. Believe the promise of God’s grace, and believing, you shall live in a new world which shall be always wonder-land to you. It is a happy thing to have such faith in God as to expect as certain that which to mere human judgment is most unlikely.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“To-day I feel so joyful that I could dance to the tune of Miriam’s timbrel; but perhaps when I wake to-morrow morning I shall only be able to sing in harmony with Jeremiah’s lamentations. Has my salvation changed according to these feelings? Then it must have had a very movable foundation. Feelings are more fickle than the winds, more unsubstantial than bubbles: are these to be the gauge of the divine fidelity? States of mind more or less depend upon the condition of the liver or the stomach; are we to judge the Lord by these? Certainly not. The state of the barometer may send our feelings up or down: can there be much dependence upon things so changeable?”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“Faith obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“Gird yourselves, therefore, with a holy courage, you who are learning through grace to live upon the promise of God by faith.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“He who hugs his chains hates the presence of a free man. He who refuses the mercy of God because he proudly trusts his own merits, is angry with the man who rejoices to be saved by grace.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“The carnal mind, even when it is religious, is still enmity against God, and it is not reconciled to God, neither indeed can it be. There must be a spiritual mind created in the man; he must become a new creature in Christ Jesus before he can appreciate, understand, and enjoy spiritual things.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“So you shall find, that if you are religiously trained and tutored, and become “pious,” as they call it, and yet are not renewed in heart, nor visited by the Holy Ghost, you will not live the secret life of the child of God. You may show many of the outward marks of a Christian; you may be able to sing, and to pray, and to quote Scripture, and perhaps to tell some little bits of imaginary experience; but you must be born again to know in very deed and truth the fellowship of the saints, communion in secret with the living God, and the yielding of yourself to him as your reasonable service. The child of the promise abides with God’s people, and counts it his privilege to be numbered with them.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“There are times when, if I sit alone and think of the grace of God to me, the most undeserving of all his creatures, I am ready to laugh and cry at the same time for joy that ever the Lord should have looked in love and favor upon me. Yes, and every child of God must have felt the working of that Isaac nature within his soul, filling his mouth with laughter, because the Lord hath done great things for him.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, According To Promise

“Examine me, O LORD and prove me; melt my kidneys and my heart. (Psalm 26:2)”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, God's Promises: Of Salvation, Life, and Eternity
