The Bible is a vein of pure gold

Charles Haddon Spurgeon is remembered primarily for his preaching, although he is also known as the founder of Spurgeon’s, the international charity working throughout the world with families and children. Here he expounds on what makes the Bible so special.

The Bible is a vein of pure gold, unalloyed by quartz or any

earthly substance. This is a star without a speck, a sun with a

blot, a light without darkness, a moon without its paleness, and a

glory without a dimness. O Bible! It cannot be said of any other

book that it is perfect and pure, but of the Bible we can declare

that all wisdom is gathered up in it without a particle of folly.

This is the judge that ends the strife where wit and reason fail.

This is the book untainted by any error; but is pure, unalloyed,

perfect truth.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892)
