“My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.”

English Particular Baptist preacher

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. He became one of the most influential Christian voices of the 19th century, and is still known in some circles as the "Prince of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Baptist tradition, and defended the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. He also opposed the liberal and pragmatic theological trends that were taking hold in the church in his day.
