More quotes by 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.

Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
R. C. Sproul
To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.
R. C. Sproul
The fundamental loss of a desire for God is the heart of original sin.
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

If God did not act first, no one would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
R. C. Sproul
Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.
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
The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.
R. C. Sproul
Nothing could be more irrational than the idea that something comes from nothing.
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
God is serious about how we worship Him, and we must be serious about it, too.
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
God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious.
R. C. Sproul
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.
