Charles H. Spurgeon on Faith

The righteousness of faith is not the moral excellence of faith, but the righteousness of Jesus Christ which faith grasps and appropriates.

The Lord's salvation can come to us though we have only faith as a grain of mustard seed.

Faith which refuses to obey the commands of the Saviour is a mere pretence, and will never save the soul.

Faith is as much the gift of God as is the Saviour upon whom that faith relies.

Christ and the believing sinner are in the same boat: unless Jesus sinks, the believer will never drown.

Faith saves us because it makes us cling to Christ Jesus, and he is one with God, and thus brings us into connection with God.

Come by faith to Jesus, for without him you perish for ever.

Faith is the linen which binds the plaster of Christ's reconciliation to the sore of our sin.

Faith was Peter's life-buoy—it kept him up; but unbelief sent him down.

We are saved by faith, and not by feeling; yet there is a relation between holy faith and hallowed feeling like that between the root and the flower.

Little-faith was bought with the blood of Christ; ay, and he cost as much as Great-faith.

Little faith will get very great mercies, but great faith still greater.

Christ in the heart, means Christ believed in, Christ beloved, Christ trusted, Christ espoused, Christ communed with, Christ as our daily food, and ourselves as the temple and palace wherein Jesus Christ daily walks.

The believer enjoys, in favored seasons, such an intimacy with the Lord Jesus, as fills his heart with an overflowing peace.

Believers are not only to be with Christ, and to behold His glory, but they are to be like Christ, and to be glorified with Him.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you, even you, will be saved.

Whether faith is large or small, whether you can do much or little for Christ, salvation depends not on what you are but on what Jesus Christ is.

Salvation does not come from the preacher’s authority, but through the hearer’s personal conviction, personal faith, and personal love.

Come to Jesus, by quitting every other hope, by thinking of Him, believing God's testimony about Him, and trusting everything with Him.

Our faithful God will never run back from His word, nor will He leave it unfulfilled; yet He loves to be enquired of by His people, and put in mind of His promise.

Not for confession, nor for reformation, but in connection with them we find pardon by faith in the blood of Jesus.

Christ Jesus is the only escape for a sinner pursued by the fiery wrath of God, and we would have the believer remember this.

Our first business has not to do with faith, but with Christ.
