C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

May not many of our barren seasons be ascribed to the fact that we did not thank God for fruitful ones? 972.52 And, surely, if we receive favours from God, and do not feel love to him in return, we are worse than brute beasts; and so the Lord, in that pathetic verse in Isaiah, pleads against us, “The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.” If we receive favours from God, it is but natural that we should love him in return. Alas, that many should be so unnatural, so false to every noble instinct, so dead to the gratitude which goodness deserves! 2127.62 This must be one of the mysteries that angels cannot comprehend, that after Christ had died, there were found sinners who would not be saved by him. They refused to be washed in the fountain filled with blood; they rejected eternal life, even though it streamed from the five great founts of his wounded body. 2257.246
