A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles SpurgeonGod does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?
Charles SpurgeonJesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!
Charles SpurgeonHe who affirms that Christianity makes men miserable, is himself an utter stranger to it.
Charles SpurgeonWhen Satan cannot get a great sin in he will let a little one in, like the thief who goes and finds shutters all coated with iron and bolted inside. At last he sees a little window in a chamber. He cannot get in, so he puts a little boy in, that he may go round and open the back door. So the devil has always his little sins to carry about with him to go and open back doors for him, and we let one in and say, 'O, it is only a little one.' Yes, but how that little one becomes the ruin of the entire man!
