Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works; and he that is without works is without faith. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
Faith shows itself by good works. Author: Charles Spurgeon Source: The Treasury of David, Psalm 15. |
If Christ has died for me - ungodly as I am, without strength as I am - then I can no longer live in sin, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me. I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend. I must be holy for his sake. How can I live in sin when He has died to save me from it? Author: Charles Spurgeon |
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us. Author: Charles Spurgeon Source: The Treasury of David, Commentary for Psalm 119:17. |

Do you find a single occasion in which Christ ever acted independently of God? If you walk in the same path it will be sweet to you to feel your entire dependency, finding in all difficulties the everlasting arms underneath. Author: G.V. Wigram |
Let us remember, there is One who daily records all we do for Him, and sees more beauty in His servants' work than His servants do themselves... And then shall His faithful witnesses discover, to their wonder and surprise, that there never was a word spoken on their Master's behalf, which does not receive a reward. Author: J.C. Ryle |
