"The gospel itself is the greatest of signs and wonder. What want you more that that?" - CH Spurgeon
"To ask a sign from God when he pledges his word seems to me to be out of all reason. You are a beggar, remember, and we have an old proverb that beggars must not be choosers; above all, how dare a beggar demand a sign before he will receive an alms?" - CH Spurgeon
"God has promised that everyone that believeth in Jesus Christ shall live; he has promised to hear prayer; but he has never promised to give any one of you a sign or a wonder; and yet you will ask him to give you a sign which he has never promised, and dare not ask him to give you eternal life which he has promised. Folly indeed!" - CH Spurgeon
"Such is the mystery of regeneration. It is so mysterious that no one can explain it, but it is so simple that everyone that believeth in Christ has experienced it already; it is so mysterious that if the most learned tomes were composed to define it, all the writers in the world might fail in the definition, but it is such a simplicity that whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ is born of God." - CH Spurgeon
