Quotes About Spiritual

Let it be a settled principle in our minds, in reading the Bible, that Christ is the central sun of the whole book. So long as we keep Him in view, we shall never greatly err in our search for spiritual knowledge. Once losing sight of Christ, we shall find the whole Bible dark and full of difficulty.

The heart of man is the same in every age. The spiritual medicine which it requires is always the same.

There are no spiritual games without pains. I would soon expect farmer just prosper in business who contended himself with sowing fields and never looking at them till harvest as expect a believer to attain much holiness who is not diligent in his Bible reading, his prayers, and his use of Sundays.

Growth in grace is the best evidence of spiritual health and prosperity. In a child or a flower or a tree, we are all aware that when there is no growth, there is something wrong. Healthy life in an animal or plant will always show itself by progress and increase. It is the same with our souls. If they are progressing and doing well, they will grow.

Above all let us humbly pray for the teaching of the Holy Spirit. He alone can apply truth to our hearts, and make us profit by what we read.

Cuanta más luz espiritual han disfrutado, mejor han visto sus innumerables defectos y faltas. Más gracia han tenido, más han sido revestidos "de humildad" (1 Pe. 5:5).

One of the surest marks of spiritual decline is a decreased interest about the souls of others and the growth of Christ's kingdom.

I will never back away from declaring my belief that there are no spiritual gains without pains. I would as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who was content with sowing his fields and never looking at them until harvest, as to expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, prayer, and the use of his Sundays. Our God is a God who works by means, and He will never bless the soul of that person who pretends to be so superior

La gracia es luz, y la luz siempre se puede ver. La gracia es sal, y la sal siempre se puede saborear. Decir que el Espíritu mora en uno pero no se demuestra por frutos visibles y por una gracia que los demás ni pueden ver, es muy sospechoso. Créeme cuando te digo que eres un alma muerta si no tienes más prueba de tu vida espiritual que el haber sido bautizado.

The child of God has two great characteristics about him: he can be known by his inward warfare, and he can be known by his inward peace.

Every living thing which God creates requires food. The life that God imparts needs sustaining and nourishing. It is so with animal and vegetable life,—with birds, beasts, fishes, reptiles, insects, and plants. It is equally so with spiritual life. When the Holy Ghost raises a man from the death of sin and makes him a new creature in Christ Jesus, the new principle in that man's heart requires food, and the only food which will sustain it is the Word of God.

If people have no likeness to the Father in heaven, it is pointless to talk of their being His children.

Un tercera evidencia es que "afligía cada día su alma justa" (2 P. 2:8).

Christians must rely on the Holy Spirit in their intellectual pursuits, but this does not mean they should expend no mental sweat of their own in defending the faith.

The true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness. It is here in the present. It asks of us a welcoming spirit to greet all that life presents to us with a wise, respectful, and kindly heart. We can bow to both beauty and suffering, to our entanglements and confusion, to our fears and to the injustices of the world. Honoring the truth in this way is the path to freedom.
