My Year with Spurgeon: Week 22

Unbelief hath more phases than the moon, and more colors than the chameleon. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

I am sure this is true of Satan’s first-born child—unbelief, for its forms are legion. At one time I see unbelief dressed out as an angel of light. It calls itself humility, and it saith, “I would not be presumptuous; I dare not think that God would pardon me; I am too great a sinner.” We call that humility, and thank God that our friend is in so good a condition. I do not thank God for any such delusion. It is the devil dressed as an angel of light; it is unbelief after all. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

I am astonished, and I am sure you will be, when I tell you that there are some strange people in the world who do not believe that unbelief is a sin. Strange people I must call them, because they are sound in their faith in every other respect; only, to make the articles of their creed consistent, as they imagine, they deny that unbelief is sinful. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

Truth is a strong tower and never requires to be buttressed with error. God’s Word will stand against all man’s devices. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

Oh! sirs believe me, could ye roll all sins into one mass,—could you take murder, and blasphemy, and lust, adultery, and fornication, and everything that is vile and unite them all into one vast globe of black corruption, they would not equal even then the sin of unbelief. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

Unbelief is the mother of vice; it is the parent of sin; and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil—a master sin. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

But unbelief is the sin which keeps the power of the gospel from working in the sinner: and it is not till the Holy Ghost strikes that unbelief out—it is not till the Holy Spirit rends away that infidelity and takes it altogether down, that we can find the sinner coming to put his trust in Jesus. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

Faith fosters every virtue; unbelief murders every one. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

Once make a giant unbelieving, and he becomes a dwarf. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief

God of all things, hates first and chiefly, unbelief, wherever it is. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Sin of Unbelief
