R. C. Sproul
There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.
R. C. Sproul
A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
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
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
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.
R. C. Sproul
What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?
R. C. Sproul
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
We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
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
The Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming.
R. C. Sproul
It is one thing to fall victim to the flood or to fall prey to cancer it is another thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
R. C. Sproul
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
R. C. Sproul
We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.
R. C. Sproul
Anyone who takes his faith seriously and speaks in behalf of Christ and His kingdom will be accused of fanaticism at some point.
R. C. Sproul
If there ever was a time when absolutely nothing existed, all there could possibly be now is nothing.
R. C. Sproul
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
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
God is serious about how we worship Him, and we must be serious about it, too.
R. C. Sproul
