More quotes by 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
This little expression, 'It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere,' is a monstrous lie.
R. C. Sproul
God is the foundation of all authority, He exercises that foundation because He is the author and the owner of His creation. He is the foundation upon which all other authority stands or falls.
R. C. Sproul
The supreme form of cursedness is for the Lord to turn His back on you and bring judgment on you.
R. C. Sproul
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
R. C. Sproul
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
R. C. Sproul
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
R. C. Sproul
One might pray and not be a Christian, but one cannot be a Christian and not pray.
R. C. Sproul
I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.
R. C. Sproul
If it were left to us, we would all fall away from the faith and perish.
R. C. Sproul
The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news.
R. C. Sproul
The Bible alone is the only authority that can bind the conscience of a person absolutely because it is the only authority that carries with it the intrinsic authority of God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
If the final decision for the salvation of fallen sinners were left in the hands of fallen sinners, we would despair all hope that anyone would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
R. C. Sproul
If you don't know you're in a state of grace, then you're vulnerable to the paralysis of the accusations of the enemy.
R. C. Sproul
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.
