More quotes by R. C. Sproul
I believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.
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
It is one thing to believe in God it is quite another to believe God.
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 sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
R. C. Sproul
Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads
R. C. Sproul
There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
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
Doctrine divides, but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God's people who celebrate the truth of God together.
R. C. Sproul
Preachers must always fight the temptation to preach anything but Christ and Him crucified.
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
To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.
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
It's because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church should take the concept seriously.
R. C. Sproul
The atonement is a multifaceted event-Jesus is shown providing surety for our debt to God, mediating the enmity between us and God, and offering Himself as a substitute to suffer God's judgment in our place.
R. C. Sproul
The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
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
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
R. C. Sproul
The only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.
R. C. Sproul
