R. C. Sproul
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
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
But the blessing Christ promised, the blessing of great reward, is a reward of grace. The blessing is promised even though it is not earned. Augustine said it this way: Our rewards in heaven are a result of God's crowning His own gifts.

The great misconception in our day is this: that God isn´t concerned to protect His own integrity. He´s a kind of wishy-washy deity, who just waves a wand of forgiveness over everybody. No. For God to forgive you is a very costly matter.
R. C. Sproul
Man’s will is free to follow his inclinations, but fallen man’s inclinations are always and invariably away from God.
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
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
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
R. C. Sproul
Humanism was not invented by man, but by a snake who suggested that the quest for autonomy might be a good idea.
R. C. Sproul
The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.
R. C. Sproul
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
R. C. Sproul
The house that is built upon the sand will crumble at the first sign of a windstorm.
R. C. Sproul
The only righteousness that meets the requirements of the Law is the righteousness of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
At the moment I sin, I desire the sin more than I desire to please God.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
The promises of God for tomorrow are the anchor for believers today.
