Inspirational Quotes by John Stott
“Escritura habla mucho de la diferencia entre la reputación y la realidad, entre lo que ven los seres humanos y lo que ve Dios. “Yahvéh no mira lo que mira el hombre; pues el hombre mira lo que está delante de sus ojos, pero Yahvéh mira el corazón” (1 Samuel 16:7). La obsesión por la apariencia y la reputación conduce de manera natural a la hipocresía (algo que Jesús aborrece). Esto nos indica que la sinceridad caracteriza a la iglesia viva y verdadera. Misión. Al escribir a Filadelfi a, Jesús se presenta”

“True, pastors are not apostles, for the apostles were given authority to formulate and teach the gospel, while pastors are responsible to expound the message which the apostles have bequeathed to us in the New Testament”
― John Stott ,
from The Message of Acts
“The Church is the pilgrim people of God. It is on the move—hastening to the ends of the earth to beseech all men to be reconciled to God, and hastening to the end of time to meet its Lord who will gather all into one.… It cannot be understood rightly except in a perspective which is at once missionary and eschatological. ”
― John Stott ,
from The Message of Acts
“Without the Holy Spirit, Christian discipleship would be inconceivable, even impossible. There can be no life without the life-giver, no understanding without the Spirit of truth, no fellowship without the unity of the Spirit, no Christlikeness of character apart from His fruit, and no effective witness without His power. As a body without breath is a corpse, so the church without the Spirit is dead.”

“Salvation is far more than merely the forgiveness of sins. It includes the whole sweep of God’s purpose to redeem and restore humankind, and indeed all creation. What we claim for the Bible is that it unfolds God’s total plan.”
― John Stott ,
“Third, this revelation of the purpose of God in Scripture should be sought primarily in its didactic rather than its descriptive parts. More precisely, we should look for it in the teaching of Jesus, and in the sermons and writings of the apostles, rather than in the purely narrative portions of the Acts. What is described in Scripture as having happened to others is not necessarily intended for us, whereas what is promised to us we are to appropriate, and what is commanded to us we are to obey.”
“el privilegio conlleva responsabilidad, nunca inmunidad ante el juicio de Dios. Este”
― John Stott ,
“What we seek for ourselves, and what we teach to others, must be governed by the Scripture alone. Only when the Word of God dwells in us richly shall we be able to evaluate the experiences that we and others may have.”
“First, our common desire and duty as Christians must be to enter into the full purpose of God for us.”
“So here, too, we see the need for a deeper work of the Holy Spirit, since he is the author of unity, truth and maturity.”
“We “receive the Spirit,” he insisted, not because of any good works of obedience that we may have done, but “by hearing with faith,” that is, by hearing and believing the gospel (Gal 3:2). More simply, “we . . . receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Gal 3:14). And the context makes it clear that this “faith” is not some second, postconversion act of faith, but saving faith, the faith that responds to the gospel and lays hold of Christ.”
“Babel significó la dispersión de los pueblos, pero Abraham significó reunirlos en torno a la promesa de Dios. Fue”
― John Stott ,
“The salvation for which the Bible instructs us is available “through faith in Christ Jesus.” Therefore, since Scripture concerns salvation and salvation is through Christ, Scripture is full of Christ.”
― John Stott ,
“It is that the promise of the “gift” or “baptism” of the Spirit is to as many as the Lord our God calls. The promise of God is coextensive with the call of God. Whoever receives the divine call inherits the divine promise.”
“Seldom if ever should we have to choose between satisfying physical hunger and spiritual hunger, or between healing bodies and saving souls, since an authentic love for our neighbour will lead us to serve him or her as a whole person. Nevertheless, if we must choose, then we have to say that the supreme and ultimate need of all humankind is the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and that therefore a person’s eternal, spiritual salvation is of greater importance than his or her temporal and material well-being. . . . The choice, we believe, is largely conceptual. In practice, as in the public ministry of Jesus, the two are inseparable. . .”
“When sinners repent and believe, Jesus not only takes away their sins but also baptizes them with his Spirit.”
“In the light of all this biblical testimony it seems to me clear that the “baptism” of the Spirit is the same as the promise or gift of the Spirit and is as much an integral part of the gospel of salvation as is the remission of sins. Certainly we must never conceive “salvation” in purely negative terms, as if it consisted only of our rescue from sin, guilt, wrath and death. We thank God that it is all these things.”
“If you Christians lived like Jesus Christ, India would be at your feet tomorrow.”
“Eva no fue tomada de los pies de Adán para ser su esclava, ni de su cabeza para ser su amo, sino de su costado para ser su compañera’. Y”
― John Stott ,
“the word mission cannot properly be used to cover everything God is doing in the world. In providence and common grace he is indeed active in all men and all societies, whether they acknowledge him or not. But this is not his "mission" "Mission" concerns his redeemed people and what he sends them into the world to do.”

John Robert Walmsley Stott is a British Christian leader and Anglican clergyman who is noted as a leader of the worldwide evangelical movement. He is famous as one of the principal authors of the Lausanne Covenant in 1974.
Stott was ordained in 1945 and went on to become a curate at All Souls Church, Langham Place (1945-1950) then rector (1950-75). This was the church in which he had grown up, and in which he has spent almost all of his life, aside from a few years spent in Cambridge.
Stott played a central role at two landmark events in the history of British evangelicalism. He was chairing the National Assembly of Evangelicals in 1966, a convention organised by the Evangelical Alliance, when Martyn Lloyd-Jones made an unexpected call for evangelicals to unite together as evangelicals and no longer within their 'mixed' denominations.
