More quotes by 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
Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
R. C. Sproul
What we celebrate at Christmas is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself
R. C. Sproul
Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'
R. C. Sproul
The Bible never tells us to take a blind leap of faith into the darkness and hope that there's somebody out there. The Bible calls us to jump out of the darkness and into the light. That is not a blind leap. The faith that the New Testament calls us to is a faith rooted and grounded in something that God makes clear is the truth.
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
For a work to be considered good it must not only conform outwardly to the law of God, but it must be motivated inwardly by a sincere love for God.
R. C. Sproul
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
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
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
What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?
R. C. Sproul
Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.
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
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
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
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
Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
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
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
The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.
R. C. Sproul
