More quotes by R. C. Sproul
It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.
R. C. Sproul
We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.
R. C. Sproul
If God did not act first, no one would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
The question is not, Why is there only one way to God? but Why is there even one way?
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
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.
R. C. Sproul
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.
R. C. Sproul
There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath.
R. C. Sproul
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.
R. C. Sproul
It is one thing to believe in God it is quite another to believe God.
R. C. Sproul
By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.
R. C. Sproul
I believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.
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
If there ever was a time when absolutely nothing existed, all there could possibly be now is nothing.
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
We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'
R. C. Sproul
There is nothing more foreign, more alien, to our nature than holiness.
R. C. Sproul
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
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
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.
