Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Modern man has lost any sense of God's nearness, but Christianity teaches that God reveals himself through every single thing he has ever brought into being, whether a created object or historical event.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The only righteousness that meets the requirements of the Law is the righteousness of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.

The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.

Image
No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

Image
Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.

Image
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.

Image
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.
R. C. Sproul
Image
In every age the church is threatened by heresy, and heresy is bound up in false doctrine. It is the desire of all heretics to minimize the importance of doctrine. When doctrine is minimized, heresy can exercise itself without restraint.
R. C. Sproul
Image
By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.

I believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.

Image
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker we are the ones who are running.

Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.

It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.

There are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can't think of any more serious delusion than that.

God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
