Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 620: “A Warning Against Hardness Of Heart” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1865)

THE children of Israel, in their coming out of Egypt and in their forty years' sojourn in the wilderness, represented the visible Church of the living God—not the secret and elect body of the redeemed—but the professing company of the outward Church. They were very prone to the great sin of unbelief. They believed in God after a fashion while they saw His wonders, but the moment they were brought into straits or difficulties, they at once began to doubt the power of Jehovah and to cast off all reverence for His authority.

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

But, to prevent it, exhort one another, while it is called Today - This today will not last forever. The day of life will end soon, and perhaps the day of grace yet sooner.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Unbelief is a great sin, it vitiates the heart of man. (2.) An evil heart of unbelief is at the bottom of all our sinful departures from God; it is a leading step to apostasy; if once we allow ourselves to distrust God, we may soon desert him. (3.) Christian brethren have need to be cautioned against apostasy.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2130: “The Deceitfulness of Sin” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1890)

SIN is the greatest evil in the universe. It is the parent of all other ills. All manner of evils draw their bitterness from this fountain of wormwood and gall. If a man had every possession a mortal could desire, sin could turn every blessing into a curse. And, on the other hand, if a man had nothing for his inheritance but suffering and stood clear from all sin, his afflictions, his losses, his deprivations might each one be a gain to him.
