According  to  (promise,  ortfhe  Lords  Method  of  (DeaCing  with  Jfis 
Chosen  (PeopCe  6y  CharCes  K  Spurgeon  (1834  -  1892 

Charles  Haddon  (C.H.)  Spurgeon  was  a  British  Particular  Baptist  preacher  and  is  still 
known  today  as  the  "Prince  of  Preachers".  He  was  a  strong  figure  in  the  Reformed 
Baptist  tradition,  defending  the  Church  in  agreement  with  the  1689  London  Baptist 
Confession  of  Faith  understanding,  and  opposing  the  liberal  and  pragmatic  theological 
tendencies  in  the  Church  of  his  day.  In  his  lifetime,  Spurgeon  preached  to  around  10 
million  people,  often  up  to  ten  times  each  week  at  different  places. 

In  this  series  of  devotionals,  he  challenges  each  of  us  to  examine  our  own  heart  to 
make  sure  our  faith  is  solidly  grounded,  to  count  the  cost,  and  to  experience  the 
promise  of  grace.  "It  would  be  very  difficult  to  say  how  far  a  man  may  go  in  religion, 
and  yet  die  in  his  sins;  how  much  he  may  look  like  an  heir  of  heaven,  and  yet  be  a 
child  of  wrath.  Many  unconverted  men  have  a  belief  which  is  similar  to  faith,  and  yet 
it  is  not  true  faith.  The  life  of  God  within  the  soul  creates  an  infinite  difference 
between  the  man  who  has  it  and  the  man  who  has  it  not;  and  the  point  is,  to  make 
sure  that  we  have  this  life.  I  desire  to  help  my  reader  in  the  business  of  self- 
examination.  I  would  have  him  go  further  than  examination,  and  attain  to  such 
abundance  of  grace  that  his  holy  and  happy  state  shall  become  a  witness  to  himself. 
No  man  can  lose  by  honestly  searching  his  own  heart."
