Just a thought by coppi

Talk to God openly, trusting that He listens and cares deeply for you.

Charles Spurgeon particularly loved the scripture John 3:16 (“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”) since that encapsulates the vastness of God’s love, a central theme in his preaching; he also frequently referenced 1 John 4:19 (“We love him, because he first loved us”) highlighting the reciprocal nature of love with God. 

The story about Charles Spurgeon often recounted is that when a man on a ship was panicking during a storm at sea, Spurgeon said, “No, I will go pray because I believe and you don’t.” This highlights Spurgeon’s strong conviction in faith, even amidst a crisis.

Spurgeon believed the cross was the place where Christ was exalted and the message that could change the hearts of people enslaved to sin.

I have been reading about some of the men of faith in the past, who unwaveringly believed in Jesus Christ, the crucifixion and the risen resurrection of Jesus.  The faith of Charles Spurgeon is one of the most powerful examples in the belief in prayer.  He prayed, believed, listened, and knew Jesus would answer the prayers.  I read about these great men of faith, and I am in awe of their dedication to the cause of their faith in Christ and his death and resurrection.  I know that I can never muster up the power of their faith, but I believe in the Lord Jesus, who died and rose from the grave for my sins if I will repent of them and believe in him.  Comparison – no!  Belief- yes!
