Charles Spurgeon Quotes about Suffering

There is no university for a Christian, like that of sorrow and trial

Spurgeon, Charles H. “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 39: Sermons 2289-2341”, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

Suffering is better than sinning. There is more evil in a drop of sin than in an ocean of affliction. Better, burn for Christ, than turn from Christ.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1889). “The Salt-cellars: Being a Collection of Proverbs, Together with Homely Notes Thereon”

Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow; joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1873). “The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit: Sermons Preached and Revised”, p.533

Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.

Spurgeon, Charles H. (2015). “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 12: Sermons 668 to 727”, p.216, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

It seems to me that doubt is worse than trial. I had sooner suffer any affliction than be left to question the gospel or my own interest in it.
