More quotes by R. C. Sproul
It is important that when we are engaged in admonition or exhortation or confrontation with a brother who is overcome in sin, we call attention to the truth in an extraordinarily compassionate and tender and loving spirit.
R. C. Sproul
Whenever I read the psalms, I feel like I am eavesdropping on a saint having a personal conversation with God.
R. C. Sproul
God not only initiated my salvation, He not only sowed the seed, but He made sure that that seed germinated in my heart by regenerating me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
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
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
If the God you believe in is not a sovereign God, then you really don't believe in God.
R. C. Sproul

R. C. Sproul
The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.
R. C. Sproul
Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.
R. C. Sproul
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
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
Doctrine does matter.
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
Satan can do only what the sovereign God allows him to do.
R. C. Sproul
You have to stop thinking logically to argue that the universe came into being by itself, out of nothing.
R. C. Sproul
If the final decision for the salvation of fallen sinners were left in the hands of fallen sinners, we would despair all hope that anyone would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
When one encounters truth, one encounters the God whose truth it is.
R. C. Sproul
We take comfort, however, that mystery is not a synonym for contradiction.
