More quotes by R. C. Sproul
If the God you believe in is not a sovereign God, then you really don't believe in God.
R. C. Sproul
The one place where the Christian can be naked without fear is in the presence of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.
R. C. Sproul
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
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
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
When we behold the face of God, all memories of pain and suffering will vanish. Our souls shall be totally healed.
R. C. Sproul
If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
R. C. Sproul
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
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 very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.
R. C. Sproul
The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
R. C. Sproul
Humanism was not invented by man, but by a snake who suggested that the quest for autonomy might be a good idea.
R. C. Sproul
The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.
R. C. Sproul
When one encounters truth, one encounters the God whose truth it is.
R. C. Sproul
Modern man has lost any sense of God's nearness, but Christianity teaches that God reveals himself through every single thing he has ever brought into being, whether a created object or historical event.
R. C. Sproul
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is 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
A Christian is not a skeptic. A Christian is a person with a burning heart, a heart set aflame with certainty of the resurrection.
R. C. Sproul
We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.
