Since no man is excluded from calling upon God the gate of salvation is open to all. There is nothing else to hinder us from entering, but our own unbelief.
– John Calvin
Salvation | Unbelief
Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do.
– Andrew Murray
Prayer | Unbelief
There are no sins God’s people are more subject to than unbelief and impatience. They are ready either to faint through unbelief, or to fret through impatience.
– Thomas Watson
Unbelief | Impatience
Christ never failed to distinguish between doubt and unbelief. Doubt is can’t believe. Unbelief is won’t believe. Doubt is honesty. Unbelief is obstinacy. Doubt is looking for light. Unbelief is content with darkness.
– Henry Drummond
Doubt | Unbelief
Unbelief is not a misfortune to be pitied; it is a sin to be deplored. Is sinfulness lies in the fact that it contradicts the word of the one true God and thus attributes falsehood to Him.
– John Stott

Grieve not the Christ of God, who redeems us; and remember that we grieve Him most when we will not let Him pour His love upon us, but turn a sullen, unresponsive unbelief towards His pleading grace, as some glacier shuts out the sunshine from the mountainside with its thick-ribbed ice.
– Alexander MacLaren
Unbelief | Redemption
Unbelief is criminal because it is a moral act, an act of the whole nature. Belief or unbelief is a test of a man’s whole spiritual condition, because it is the whole being, affections, will, conscience, as well as the understanding, which are concerned in it.
– Alexander MacLaren
Unbelief
Surely scripture is right when it makes the sin of sins that unbelief, which is at bottom nothing else than a refusal to take the cup of salvation. Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated.
– Alexander MacLaren

The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay upon the Father, the greatest unkindness you can do to Him is not to believe that He loves you.
– John Owen

Today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don’t want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they’re living just to die.
– David Wilkerson

In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one’s self, and a bad opinion of God.

The best duties of unbelievers are but white lies.

All unbelief is the belief of a lie.

Prayer is to the skeptic a delusion, a waste of time. To the believer it represents perhaps the most important use of time.
– Phillips Brooks
Prayer | Unbelief
Those who persist in harboring an unforgiving spirit toward others who have wronged them are guilty of not believing God’s promise to see to matters Himself.
– Daniel Fuller
Unbelief
This, then, is the sense in which people are totally depraved: we have all treated God in the most insulting way by registering again and again a vote of no confidence in His promises.
– Daniel Fuller
Unbelief
The only “Scripture” most of today’s uncertain souls know is an emasculated, paraphrased “Bible,” rewritten to eliminate conviction of sin and catering to the rebellion of those who insist upon having the gospel modified to suit their unbelief. God will not accommodate their rebellion!
– Dave Hunt
Rebellion | Scripture | Unbelief
Unbelief, and a thousand evils, are still in our hearts: though their reign and dominion is at an end, they are not slain or eradicated; their efforts will be felt more or less sensibly, as the Lord is pleased more or less to afford or abate His gracious influence.
– A. W. Pink
The Heart | Unbelief
It gave me no pleasure to see people drink in my opinions if they seemed ignorant of Jesus Christ and the value of being saved by Him. Sound conviction for sin, especially the sin of unbelief, and a heart set on fire to be saved by Christ, with a strong yearning for a truly sanctified soul-this was what delighted me; those were the souls I considered blessed.
– John Bunyan
Unbelief | Conviction
There is no strength in unbelief. Even the unbelief of what is false is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to disbelieve.
– George Macdonald
Truth | Unbelief
The curse, of this age especially, is unbelief, frittering the real meaning of God’s word away, and making it all figure and fiction.

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.

There is no accounting for the ignorance of unbelief, as any minister of Christ knows by painful experience.

Unbelief is never cheap; it costs more than it pays.

Prayer | Unbelief
For no sin whereof men can be guilty in this world is of so horrible a nature, and so dreadful an aspect, as is this unbelief, where a clear view of it is obtained in evangelical light.
– John Owen
Unbelief
There are those who insist that it is a very bad thing to question God. To them, “why?” is a rude question. That depends, I believe, on whether it is an honest search, in faith, for His meaning, or whether it is the challenge of unbelief and rebellion.
– Elisabeth Elliot

As no good is done, or spoken, or thought by any man without the assistance of God, working in and with those that believe in him, so there is no evil done, or spoken, or thought without the assistance of the devil, who worketh with strong though secret power in the children of unbelief. All the works of our evil nature are the work of the devil.
– John Wesley
Good and Evil | Unbelief
If one’s conscience is willing to confess whatever sins have been committed, including the sin of unbelief, it will be sorrowful in a godly way, earnestly desiring the mercy of God.
– Watchman Nee
Conscience | Mercy | Unbelief
In all their jollity in this world, the wicked are but as a book fairly bound, which when it is opened is full of nothing but tragedies. So when the book of their consciences shall be once opened, there is nothing to be read but lamentations and woes.
