We are puzzled and bewildered whenever we see suffering in this world because we have become accustomed to the mercy and the long-suffering of God. Amazing grace is no longer amazing to us.

More quotes by R. C. Sproul
A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
R. C. Sproul
The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross yet in its ugliness it remains the most eloquent testimony to human dignity.
R. C. Sproul
The promises of God for tomorrow are the anchor for believers today.
R. C. Sproul
The Bible never tells us to take a blind leap of faith into the darkness and hope that there's somebody out there. The Bible calls us to jump out of the darkness and into the light. That is not a blind leap. The faith that the New Testament calls us to is a faith rooted and grounded in something that God makes clear is the truth.
R. C. Sproul
We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
R. C. Sproul
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
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
We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
A Christian is not a skeptic. A Christian is a person with a burning heart, a heart set aflame with certainty of the resurrection.
R. C. Sproul
The God of popular religion is not holy.
R. C. Sproul
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
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
The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.
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
The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.
R. C. Sproul
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
R. C. Sproul
When people ask me to name the Ligonier teaching material they should use to help them grow I tell them, 'You should start with The Holiness of God.'
R. C. Sproul
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
R. C. Sproul
