Black quote card with a sepia photograph of Charles Haddon Spurgeon seated on the left. Beneath it, white text reads “CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON (1834–1892)” and Forgiveness, Freedom, Favor. On the right, a white quotation warns against limiting help only to the “worthy,” urging Christians to imitate Christ’s love rather than acting merely as arbiters of justice.
Charles Spurgeon warns that charity can grow so cautious it stops imitating Christ. When we restrict mercy only to the “deserving,” we become judges, not helpers. Christianity, he says, is called to mercy—not merely the careful distribution of justice.
