The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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.

A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.

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.

God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.

The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.
R. C. Sproul
Image
I can’t make the Bible come alive for anyone. The Bible is already alive. It makes me come alive.

The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.

Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.

Men and women who refuse to acknowledge God's existence do so, in the final analysis, because it is contrary to their manner of living. They do not want to bow to the moral claims of a holy God on their lives.

Sin is cosmic treason
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
It is one thing to fall victim to the flood or to fall prey to cancer it is another thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.

No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.
