More quotes by 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
Confession should be a daily activity for the Christian, whose entire pilgrimage is characterized by the spirit of repentance.
R. C. Sproul
There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath.
R. C. Sproul
In His tender mercies, God has an incredible capacity to love the unlovely.
R. C. Sproul
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
R. C. Sproul
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
R. C. Sproul
For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.
R. C. Sproul
There’s a long and sacred history of the use of X to symbolize the name of Christ, and from its origin, it has meant no disrespect.
R. C. Sproul
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
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.
R. C. Sproul
It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.
R. C. Sproul
I can’t make the Bible come alive for anyone. The Bible is already alive. It makes me come alive.
R. C. Sproul
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
R. C. Sproul
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
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
We are able to persevere only because God works within us, within our free wills. And because God is at work in us, we are certain to persevere. The decrees of God concerning election are immutable. They do not change, because He does not change. All whom He justifies He glorifies. None of the elect has ever been lost.
R. C. Sproul
If there ever was a time when absolutely nothing existed, all there could possibly be now is nothing.
R. C. Sproul
A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
R. C. Sproul
Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
R. C. Sproul
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker we are the ones who are running.
