Charles Spurgeon Quotes

If god is truly god, he is perfect, lacking nothing.

This subsistence, or manner of being of God is his one essence so far as it has personal properties.

And indeed we believe you [God] to be something than which a greater cannot be conceived.

The attributes of God tell us what He is and who He is.

Whence it follows that God is absolutely perfect, since perfection is nothing but magnitude of positive reality, in the strict sense, setting aside the limits or bounds in things which are limited.

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

It connects with the theologians' point that you can say what God is not, but not (easily) what He is.

But God, who is immortal, has no need of difference of sex, nor of succession.

If God be an infinite being, there cannot be, either in the present or future world, any relative proportion between man and his God. Thus, the idea of God can never enter the human mind.

If God had sufficient wisdom and power to construct such a beautiful world as this, then we must admit that his wisdom and power are immeasurably greater than that of man, and hence he is qualified to reign as king.

God has no resolve; no karma attaches itself to Him.

To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign.

A changeable God would be no God.

The sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All-good, Almighty, and Omniscient. These are obvious qualities, and need no argument to prove, from the very fact of totality.

God is life. I understand that and express it. God is perfect Truth. I understand that and express it. God is Love. I understand that and express it. I radiate thoughts of love and peace and healing to the whole universe. If anyone has ever injured me or done me any harm, I fully and freely forgive that person now, and the thing is done forever. I go free.

God has power to create, or destroy, make, or unmake at his pleasure, to give life, or send death, to judge all, and to be judged nor accountable to none: to raise low things, and to make high things low at his pleasure, and to God are both soul and body due. And the like power have Kings; they make and unmake their subjects: they have power of raising, and casting down: of life, and of death: judges over all their subjects, and in all causes, and yet accountable to none but God only.

If we take away any of the attributes of God, we do not weaken God but we weaken our concept of God.

While love is one of God's attributes, it's not his only attribute. God is also holy and just.

What art Thou then, my God? what, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all-changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and overspreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things.

This is the essence of God's sovereignty; His absolute independence to do as He pleases and His absolute control over the actions of all His creatures. No creature, person, or empire can either thwart His will or act outside the bounds of His will.

If God is unlimited, then He can appear in any form, whichever way He likes to appear.

God alone is entirely exempt from all want of human virtues, that which needs least is the most absolute and divine.

It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause

I believe there is one Supreme most perfect being.

It is easy for us to tarnish God's character because He never argues back; He never tries to defend or vindicate himself.
