Almost Saved, But Altogether Lost
Here in Chapter 6, Spurgeon addresses the difficulty some face in believing, showing that faith is not an instant act but often comes in stages. He encourages seekers to actively pursue faith by hearing, reading, and thoughtfully considering Christ. Using vivid illustrations, he highlights how faith grows through experience, much like a lighthouse keeper who, over time, no longer fears the storm. Spurgeon warns against willful unbelief, urging readers to examine the truth honestly, trust in Christ’s power to save, and rest securely in the gospel.
The following are select quotes from this chapter.

Go to places of worship to see Jesus; and if you do not hear the mention of his name, leave for another place where he is more thought of, and is therefore more likely to be present.
The Bible is the window through which we may look and see our Lord. Read over the story of his sufferings and death with devout attention, and before long the Lord will cause faith to enter your soul. The Cross of Christ not only rewards faith, but also creates faith.
At one time I might have needed evidence to make me believe in the Lord Jesus, but now I know him so well by proving him, that I would need a very great deal of evidence to make me doubt him.
