Ask Spurgeon

What is the reason for God's people persevering until the end? Does it have anything to do with themselves? 
If not, where does the staying power come from?

Listen to this answer from Charles Spurgeon, as he lifts our eyes away from ourselves to that grace that saves and that grace that sustains.

It's an age old question: Can you lose your salvation?

Listen to Charles Spurgeon tackle this question, and embrace the wonderful assurance that his answer, from Scripture, provides. 

There are many who are coming to Christ who, aware of their weaknesses, and discouraged by past failures, are afraid that they will not persevere in their faith, that they will fall away. What do we say to these to help them as they begin their Christian journey?

In Acts 5:31, we read that Jesus “is exalted to give repentance and forgiveness of sins.” This seems to indicate that repentance is as much a gift of God’s grace as is forgiveness. 
But isn't repentance  something that I do?
How are we then to understand it as something that Christ gives?

What would appear to be a contradiction is clearly explained by Charles Spurgeon in this episode of "Ask Spurgeon"

While the grace of God is the most amazing news to the sinner, it is not a free pass to continue in sin!

Listen to Charles Spurgeon explain the absolute necessity of repentance if there is to be forgiveness.

It is right that Christians should meditate regularly on the cross of Christ, at that place where we see our sin and guilt dealt with once and for all by the Lamb of God. But it is also very important to regularly cast our minds on that empty tomb, and on the truth that Jesus is alive.

Listen to Charles Spurgeon express the importance of regularly meditating on the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.

If the new birth is entirely the work of God, completely outside the reach if man, why is it that God commands man to DO something…to believe?

Listen to Charles Spurgeon answer this question from his classic, "All of Grace".  

You may find yourself asking whether there is anything that you can do to nurture an increase in faith, so that you may believe.

Here, Charles Spurgeon provides an answer that is both wise and practical. LISTEN and SHARE.

Have you ever said to yourself, "I want to believe, but I just can't." Or perhaps you know someone who has said that. Trying to believe will never ignite faith...but there is something that will!

Listen to Charles Spurgeon share this wonderful news...

Why is it that faith is God's chosen channel though which we receive His grace?
