Throughout the past year I have been blessed to read my friend Patrick Cox’s Facebook posts. I always find interesting short but impactful sayings that bless my soul and cause me to realize how our world needs Jesus more than ever. Below are ten short quotes to help all of us take our walk with Jesus seriously:
“To gain every possession possible in this world and yet be without Christ is to be bankrupt forever.” – John MacArthur
“It will be a sad day for the church and the world when there is no distinction between the children of God and those of this world.” – Charles Spurgeon
“We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.” – Alistair Begg
“We should not be entertained by the sins for which Christ died.” – John MacArthur
“Rather than worry about who will be offended if you tell the truth consider who will be misled, deceived, and destroyed if you don’t.” – Reformed Christian Voice Radio
“The true gospel is a call to SELF-DENIAL. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.” – John MacArthur
“No doctrine in the whole Word of God has more excited the hatred of mankind than the truth of the absolute sovereignty of God.” – Charles Spurgeon
“The Gospel Message is more about SIN than about SINS. The point is that I don’t need to approach a person on the basis of a specific sin that they need to quit: but on the basis of a Nature that needs to change.” – Vodie Baucham
“People bear the Christian name but act like worldlings and love the amusements and follies of the world. It is time for a division in the house of the Lord in which those for Christ go into one camp and those against Christ go into the other camp. We have been mixed together too long.” – Charles Spurgeon
“You’re not saved because your repentance and faith are perfect. You’re saved because the work of Christ is perfect and you’re clinging to that in your frailty and your helplessness.” – Paul Washer
