Image
But the blessing Christ promised, the blessing of great reward, is a reward of grace. The blessing is promised even though it is not earned. Augustine said it this way: Our rewards in heaven are a result of God's crowning His own gifts.

Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The God of popular religion is not holy.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.

Image
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Whenever I read the psalms, I feel like I am eavesdropping on a saint having a personal conversation with God.
R. C. Sproul
Image
If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.
R. C. Sproul
Image
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We are puzzled and bewildered whenever we see suffering in this world because we have become accustomed to the mercy and the long-suffering of God. Amazing grace is no longer amazing to us.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'

No unborn baby has ever had the right to choose or deny its own destruction.
R. C. Sproul
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.

If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'
