Charles Spurgeon
1834 - 1892
“I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.”
John Wesley
1703 - 1791
“Before I can preach love, mercy, and grace, I must preach sin, Law, and judgment.”
George Whitfield
1714 - 1770
“That is the reason we have so many ‘mushroom’ converts, because their stony ground is not plowed up; they have not got a conviction of the Law; they are stony-ground hearers.”
Martin Luther
1483 - 1546
“The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God’s Law and show the nature of sin.”
Charles Finney
1792 - 1875
"Evermore the Law must prepare the way for the gospel. To overlook this in instructing souls is almost certain to result in false hope, the introduction of a false standard of Christian experience, and to fill the Church with false converts... Time will make this plain."
D.L. Moody
1837 - 1899
"Now men may cavil as much as they like about other parts of the Bible, but I never met an honest man that found fault with the Ten Commandments."
A.W. Tozer 1897-1963
"The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has
become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions."
Derek Prince 1915-2003
"The Christian life is not a life of struggle, it’s a life of yielding to the Holy Spirit within us. If you're married to your fleshly nature you'll bring forth the works of the flesh. You can struggle as much as you like but this is a biological law. But, if through the Holy Spirit you're united with the resurrected Christ, through that union you'll bring forth the fruit of the Spirit."
Ray Comfort 1949-Present
"Biblical evangelism is always, without exception, law to the proud and grace to the humble. Never will you see Jesus giving the gospel, the good news, the cross, the grace of our God, to a proud, arrogant, self-righteous person. No, no. With the law he breaks the hard heart and with the gospel he heals the broken heart."
