Almost Saved, But Altogether Lost
Here in Chapter 9, Spurgeon warns against the modern tendency to question everything and believe nothing, especially when it comes to the gospel. He shows how people sabotage their own salvation by focusing on obscure difficulties, criticizing Scripture, or delaying faith until all questions are answered. Using vivid illustrations, he urges readers to accept God’s plain command—“Believe and live”—instead of cutting away the very truths that can save them. True faith, like a man who hears news of a great inheritance and drops everything to claim it, acts immediately. Spurgeon pleads with readers to trust Christ now and turn from sin without hesitation.
The following are select quotes from this chapter.
Please use the comment section below to share your own thoughts regarding this book!
What use are obscure questions while our souls are in peril? The way to escape from sin is plain enough. God has not mocked us with a salvation that we cannot understand. “Believe and live” is a command that even a child may comprehend and obey.
The fact is that most of us know quite enough already, and our real need is not light in the head, but truth in the heart—not help over intellectual difficulties, but grace to make us hate sin and seek reconciliation.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I am thankful to have found a place to hear Spurgeons sermons.
But if I may share…
Please ditch the kid talking in the beginning.
I am guessing it is your child, that is sweet however it takes away from the meditative mind in preparation to listening to a Spurgeon sermon. He is most challenging to grasp as it is and the child’s voice is a huge distraction.
Lastly, please stop being so animated when reading Spurgeon’s sermon it takes away from the sermon and sounds fake.
I love the sermons are broken down into approx 15 minutes this helps considerably in taking in his work.
Why have you revised Spurgeon’s sermons.
I listen to another podcast and his are authentic but only 4 minutes.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Merry Christmas!
