More quotes by R. C. Sproul
In His tender mercies, God has an incredible capacity to love the unlovely.
R. C. Sproul
We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.
R. C. Sproul
Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
R. C. Sproul
The moment we think we deserve mercy a little alarm bell should go off in our head because we are not talking about mercy anymore but justice.
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
When God's justice falls, we are offended because we think God owes perpetual mercy. We must not take His grace for granted. We must never lose our capacity to be amazed by grace
R. C. Sproul
The only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.
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
The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.
R. C. Sproul
Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.
R. C. Sproul
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
R. C. Sproul
No one was ever called by God to greater suffering than God's only begotten Son.
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
If God did not act first, no one would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
It's easy to be an educated fool.
R. C. Sproul
The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness. That is, when we are in the presence of God, we are humbled and become most aware of ourselves as creatures. This is the opposite of Satan's original temptation, You shall be as gods.
R. C. Sproul
The only righteousness that meets the requirements of the Law is the righteousness of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.
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
