Gospel Quotes
-
In our manner of speech, our plans of living, our dealings with others, our conduct and walk in the church and out of it-all should be done as becomes the gospel.
Albert C. Barnes
-
If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.
John Calvin

God wants His Kingdom, His power and His glory to accompany the Gospel wherever we go!
Che Ahn
-
There is a time when it’s necessary to lean in, to say the hard things, to not be silent when one of our sisters is teetering toward compromise. This is how we “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (v. 2). This is how we live out the beauty of the gospel—together.
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
-
My family don't listen to R&B - never have, never will. They only listen to gospel. That's where I get my voice from. I got a gospel voice.
Nate Dogg
-
So tenaciously should we cling to the world revealed by the Gospel, that were I to see all the Angels of Heaven coming down to me to tell me something different, not only would I not be tempted to doubt a single syllable, but I would shut my eyes and stop my ears, for they would not deserve to be either seen or heard.
Martin Luther
-
I feel most alive when I'm singing along to old gospel music.
Judith Hill
-
The ragamuffin gospel reveals that Jesus forgives sins, including the sins of the flesh; that He is comfortable with sinners who remember how to show compassion; but that He cannot and will not have a relationship with pretenders in the Spirit.
Brennan Manning
-
The Lamb is, indeed, the emblem of love; but what so terrible as the wrath of the Lamb? The depth of the mercy despised is the measure of the punishment of him that despiseth. No more fearful words than those of the Saviour. The threat- enings of the law were temporal, those of the gospel are eternal. It is Christ who reveals the never-dying worm, the unquenchable fire, and He who contrasts with the eternal joys of the redeemed the everlasting woes of the lost. His loving arms would enfold the whole human race, but not while impenitent or unbelieving; the benefits of His redemption are conditional.
Edward Thomson
-
The Christian message is not an exhortation - "try hard to be good." Good advice, but there is no saving gospel in that.
Halford Luccock
-
Funk, gospel, blues is all out of slavery times, out of depression, out of sorrow.
Eunice Kathleen Waymon
-
The certain mark by which a Christian community can be recognized is the preaching of the gospel in its purity.
Martin Luther
-
We need to pledge ourselves anew to the cause of Christ. We must capture the spirit of the early church. Wherever the early Christians went, they made a triumphant witness for Christ. Whether on the village streets or in the city jails, they daringly proclaimed the good news of the gospel.
Martin Luther
-
When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.
Martin Luther
-
“The Gospel, then, is simply the creative power of God applied to men. Any gospel that leaves creation out, or which does not preach the creative power of God, as seen in the things that He has made, and which does not comfort men by that power, calling upon them ever to keep it in mind as their only source of strength, is “another gospel,” which is simply no gospel at all, since there can be no other.”
Ellet J. Waggoner
-
To speak the gospel skillfully without attempting to perform the gospel is a false proclamation of the gospel.
William Henry Willimon
-
This is the good and happy news, that Christ has paid for our sin, and through His suffering has redeemed us from eternal death. It is His kingdom and His ministry, to preach the Gospel to the poor; that is His purpose. For to the great and holy He cannot come. They do not wish to be counted sinners, and therefore do not need His Gospel.
Martin Luther
-
We have a moral obligation to be interesting, for our gospel is loaded with life-and-death interest for people.
Halford Luccock
