Faith: Overcoming Temptation

Spurgeon's Illustration Collection


When a traveller was asked whether he did not admire the admirable structure of some stately building, 'No,' said he, 'for I've been at Rome, where better are to be seen every day.' O believer, if the world tempt thee with its rare sights and curious prospects, thou mayst well scorn them, having been, by contemplation, in heaven, and being able, by faith, to see infinitely better delights every hour of the day. 'This is the victory which overcometh the world, even our faith.'
