More quotes by R. C. Sproul
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
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
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
We take comfort, however, that mystery is not a synonym for contradiction.
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
To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
R. C. Sproul
Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
R. C. Sproul
Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
R. C. Sproul
The promises of God for tomorrow are the anchor for believers today.
R. C. Sproul
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.
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
A married person does not live in isolation. He or she has made a promise, a pledge, a vow, to another person. Until that vow is fulfilled and the promise is kept, the individual is in debt to his marriage partner. That is what he owes. 'You owe it to yourself' is not a valid excuse for breaking a marriage vow but a creed of selfishness.
R. C. Sproul
The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.
R. C. Sproul
God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious.
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
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.
R. C. Sproul
No one was ever called by God to greater suffering than God's only begotten Son.
R. C. Sproul
To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.
R. C. Sproul
The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.
R. C. Sproul
It's dangerous to assume that because a man is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. I am sure that the reason that I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy.
R. C. Sproul
