More quotes by R. C. Sproul
Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.
R. C. Sproul
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
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.
R. C. Sproul
We have no right to come before God at all, apart from the finished work of Christ.
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
For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.
R. C. Sproul
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.
R. C. Sproul
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
R. C. Sproul
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.
R. C. Sproul
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
R. C. Sproul
The great misconception in our day is this: that God isn´t concerned to protect His own integrity. He´s a kind of wishy-washy deity, who just waves a wand of forgiveness over everybody. No. For God to forgive you is a very costly matter.
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
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
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
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
Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
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
Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
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
It's because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church should take the concept seriously.
