More quotes by R. C. Sproul
Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
R. C. Sproul
If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
When God's justice falls, we are offended because we think God owes perpetual mercy. We must not take His grace for granted. We must never lose our capacity to be amazed by grace
R. C. Sproul
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
R. C. Sproul
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
R. C. Sproul
When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.
R. C. Sproul
Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
R. C. Sproul
God is not blind neither is He capricious. For Him there are no accidents. With God there are no cases of chance events.
R. C. Sproul
The presumptuous sin of Uzzah was that He assumed his hands were less polluted than the dirt.
R. C. Sproul
The more seriously we understand the radical nature of sin, the more it exercises a restraint upon us.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
We live in age of compromise, but if we stand on the bedrock of God’s truth, we will not bend with the winds of relativism and faithlessness.
R. C. Sproul
The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.
R. C. Sproul
There is nothing more foreign, more alien, to our nature than holiness.
R. C. Sproul
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
R. C. Sproul
God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
The one place where the Christian can be naked without fear is in the presence of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
The moment we think we deserve mercy a little alarm bell should go off in our head because we are not talking about mercy anymore but justice.
R. C. Sproul
