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
Image
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
Image
If you don’t delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you don’t know God. You don’t love God. You’re out of touch with God. You’re asleep to his character.

Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.

Image
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.

Image
When we behold the face of God, all memories of pain and suffering will vanish. Our souls shall be totally healed.

Image
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.

Image
Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a 'wish' I wish that such-and-such would take place rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.

Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
R. C. Sproul
Image
It's because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church should take the concept seriously.

Image
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.

Image
The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.

Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
Image
No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
