Christianity quotes can strengthen our faith, make us think, and calm our spirits.
Here are 25 of my favorite Christian quotes.
1. “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because he loves us.” CS Lewis
2. “Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.” Augustine of Hippo
3. “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” GK Chesterton
4. “The Gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared imagine.” Timothy Keller
5. “Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.” AW Tozer
6. “You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God’s fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army for the Lord of hosts.” CH Spurgeon
7. “The saint remembers the gifts of God and doesn’t require a fresh one every hour to keep his faith intact.” RC Sproul
8. “Man is never sufficiently touched and affected by the awareness of his lowly state until he has compared himself with God’s majesty.” John Calvin
9. “The level of my growth in grace is revealed by the way I look at obedience. We should have a much higher view of obedience, rescuing it from the mire of the world. Obedience is only possible between people who are equals in their relationship to each other; like the relationship between Father and Son, not that between master and servant. The Son was obedient as our redeemer, because he was the Son, not in order to become God’s Son.” Oswald Chambers
10. “We need the discipline of study, the discipline of prayer, and the discipline of service.” RC Sproul
11. “The fact that our heart yearns for something Earth can’t supply is proof that Heaven must be our home.” CS Lewis
12. “Let us, in circumstances of distress, have ever before our eyes the providence of God, to whom it belongs to settle the affairs of the world, and to bring order out of confusion.” John Calvin
13. “The Gospel message is more about SIN than SINS. The point is I don’t need to approach a person on the basis of a specific sin that they need to quit: but on the basis of a Nature that needs to change.” Voddie Baucham
14. “You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.” Jonathan Edwards
15. “There can only be two basic loves… the love of God unto the forgetfulness of self, or the love of self to the forgetfulness and denial of God.” St. Augustine
16. “Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” Charles Spurgeon
17. “I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God, it changes me.” CS Lewis
18. “The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of man.” RC Sproul
19. “Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.” AW Tozer
20. “I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness which remains in him.” CH Spurgeon
21. “Rest is a weapon given to us by God. The enemy hates it because he wants us to be stressed and occupied.” Elizabeth Elliot
22. “You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” CS Lewis
23. “Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.” CH Spurgeon
24. “Legalistic remorse says, ‘I broke God’s rules,’ while real repentance says, ‘I broke God’s Heart.'” Tim Keller
25. “A Pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself. But a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.” AW Tozer
