More quotes by R. C. Sproul
For the Arminian, salvation is possible for all but certain for none. In the Calvinist position, salvation is sure for God's elect.
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
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
The house that is built upon the sand will crumble at the first sign of a windstorm.
R. C. Sproul
I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.
R. C. Sproul
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
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.
R. C. Sproul
Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
R. C. Sproul
If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.
R. C. Sproul
Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.
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
Heaven is a place where God will personally wipe away our tears.
R. C. Sproul
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
R. C. Sproul
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
R. C. Sproul
It's because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church should take the concept seriously.
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
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
The Bible alone is the only authority that can bind the conscience of a person absolutely because it is the only authority that carries with it the intrinsic authority of God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
The grounds of your justification are the perfect works of Jesus Christ. We're saved by works, but they're not our own.
R. C. Sproul
God is not blind neither is He capricious. For Him there are no accidents. With God there are no cases of chance events.
