About this sermon

A sermon delivered by C. H. Spurgeon, Lord's day evening, June 26th 1881. Spurgeon often felt it necessary to confront the teachings of hyper-Calvinism. This exaggerated view of the truth left many believers struggling with assurance of salvation. Without intending to do so, its proponents often stressed ‘feelings’ as on a par with faith, and spoke of texts coming ‘powerfully into the mind’ as a kind of proof of God’s faithfulness to them. Spurgeon was too honest, and too kind, to lull his hearers into falsehood by saying nothing. Here he uses his gifts of Scriptural argument to confront the many subjective reasons people give for holding back from simple trust in Jesus. He longs to see all of us set free from the paralysis and misery that comes from doting continually upon our own unworthiness. [William Williams in his ‘Personal Reminiscences of CH Spurgeon’ (p266) mentions that a gentleman from the country, who later became a politician, was saved through reading a copy of this sermon].
