More quotes by R. C. Sproul
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
R. C. Sproul
Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
R. C. Sproul
Preachers must always fight the temptation to preach anything but Christ and Him crucified.
R. C. Sproul
For the Arminian, salvation is possible for all but certain for none. In the Calvinist position, salvation is sure for God's elect.
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
For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.
R. C. Sproul
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
R. C. Sproul
It has been said by church historians that in those periods of Christian history where renewal, revival, and awakening took place and the church was at its strongest, that coincidental with those periods in church history, there was a strong focus on the psalms in the life of God's people-particularly in the worship of God's people.
R. C. Sproul
If grace is obligated it is no longer grace. The very essence of grace is that it is undeserved.
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
The world is filled with God's glory. You can't turn without bumping into it.
R. C. Sproul
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
R. C. Sproul
In Christian marriage, love is not an option. It is a duty.
R. C. Sproul
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
R. C. Sproul
Heaven is a place where God will personally wipe away our tears.
R. C. Sproul
There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath.
R. C. Sproul
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker we are the ones who are running.
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
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
R. C. Sproul
God’s grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious. We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out.
R. C. Sproul
