Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
"Do you not think that [Satan] considers [Christians] to detect, if possible, any flaw and fault in them by way of solace to himself? 'They are not pure,' saith he, 'These blood-bought ones - these elect from before the foundations of the world, - they still sin! These adopted children of God, for whom the glorious Son bowed his head, and gave up the Ghost, even they offend!' How must he chuckle, with such delight as he is capable of, over the secret sins of God's people, and if he can see anything in them inconsistent with their profession, anything which appears to be deceitful, and therein like himself, he rejoices. Each sin in the believer's heart cries to him, 'My Father! My Father!' and he feels something like the joy of fatherhood as he sees his foul offspring." (From Spurgeon's sermon, Satan Considering the Saints).
