More quotes by R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
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
When one encounters truth, one encounters the God whose truth it is.
R. C. Sproul
The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness. That is, when we are in the presence of God, we are humbled and become most aware of ourselves as creatures. This is the opposite of Satan's original temptation, You shall be as gods.
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 Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming.
R. C. Sproul
When we behold the face of God, all memories of pain and suffering will vanish. Our souls shall be totally healed.
R. C. Sproul
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
R. C. Sproul
If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
R. C. Sproul
What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?
R. C. Sproul
To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
R. C. Sproul
For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.
R. C. Sproul
Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.
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
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.
R. C. Sproul
The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.
R. C. Sproul
We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.
R. C. Sproul
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.
R. C. Sproul
