More quotes by R. C. Sproul

Image
We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced it must also involve understanding and the mind.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God, but whether we believe the God we believe in. (p.35)
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
If the God you believe in is not a sovereign God, then you really don't believe in God.

Image
When people ask me to name the Ligonier teaching material they should use to help them grow I tell them, 'You should start with The Holiness of God.'
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
Image
God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
R. C. Sproul
Image
There is nothing more foreign, more alien, to our nature than holiness.
R. C. Sproul
Image
It is one thing to believe in God it is quite another to believe God.

No unborn baby has ever had the right to choose or deny its own destruction.

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.

It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.

Image
Was Luther crazy? Perhaps. But if he was, our prayer is that God would send to this earth an epidemic of such insanity that we too may taste of the righteousness that is by faith alone.

Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
