More quotes by R. C. Sproul
Christ exposed Himself not only to the unbridled hostility of angry men, but, more significantly, to the unmitigated wrath of God.
R. C. Sproul
The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness. That is, when we are in the presence of God, we are humbled and become most aware of ourselves as creatures. This is the opposite of Satan's original temptation, You shall be as gods.
R. C. Sproul
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.
R. C. Sproul
The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.
R. C. Sproul
We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.
R. C. Sproul
I’ve often wondered where Jesus would apply His hastily made whip if He were to visit our culture. My guess is that it would not be money-changing tables in the temple that would feel His wrath, but the display racks in Christian bookstores.
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
Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a 'wish' I wish that such-and-such would take place rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.
R. C. Sproul
The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news.
R. C. Sproul
We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
R. C. Sproul
Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.
R. C. Sproul
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
R. C. Sproul
Confession should be a daily activity for the Christian, whose entire pilgrimage is characterized by the spirit of repentance.
R. C. Sproul
Men and women who refuse to acknowledge God's existence do so, in the final analysis, because it is contrary to their manner of living. They do not want to bow to the moral claims of a holy God on their lives.
R. C. Sproul
Regeneration is a work of the omnipotent power of God, power that nothing can overcome or resist.
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
The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross yet in its ugliness it remains the most eloquent testimony to human dignity.
R. C. Sproul
Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
R. C. Sproul
To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.
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.
