Word of God Food to a Believer – Charles Spurgeon

THERE is a great deal of error in many Christians, and a great deal of sin, and many try to correct the error and remove the sin, and they do well; but have you never heard a doctor say, when a person has been covered with some eruption, “I shall not deal with these eruptions at all; I shall apply no ointment. They are caused by the poorness of the patient’s blood. I shall recommend to him a generous diet; I shall give him a strengthening medicine which will invigorate the system, and these blotches will disappear as a natural consequence.” Depend upon it very many of the faults which are to be condemned in Christians are the result of their not leaning upon God’s word, their not knowing the whole of it, especially the strong meat parts of it, as they ought to do; and if they did come to find God’s word, and to eat it, their spiritual constitution would be stronger, and then they would throw off many of the ailments that are now such an injury to them, and they would become healthy, vigorous, mighty in the service of God.
