More quotes by 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
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
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 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
We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
R. C. Sproul
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
R. C. Sproul
We are not doomed to an ultimate conflict with no hope of resolution. The message of the Scripture is one of victory - full, final and ultimate victory. It is not our doom that is certain, but Satan's. His head has been crushed by the heel of Christ, who is the Alpha and Omega.

Tabletalk Magazine exists to help establish us in the Word to deepen our understanding of God and apply this knowledge to our daily living.
R. C. Sproul
A married person does not live in isolation. He or she has made a promise, a pledge, a vow, to another person. Until that vow is fulfilled and the promise is kept, the individual is in debt to his marriage partner. That is what he owes. 'You owe it to yourself' is not a valid excuse for breaking a marriage vow but a creed of selfishness.
R. C. Sproul
Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.
R. C. Sproul
To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.
R. C. Sproul
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.
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
I had actually gone to a church-related college, but I went on a football scholarship, not because of any interest in the church.
R. C. Sproul
The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
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
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
Satan can do only what the sovereign God allows him to do.
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
A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.
