We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.

The gospel is only good news when we understand the bad news.

Image
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.

Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?
R. C. Sproul
Image
It is important that when we are engaged in admonition or exhortation or confrontation with a brother who is overcome in sin, we call attention to the truth in an extraordinarily compassionate and tender and loving spirit.

Image
God is serious about how we worship Him, and we must be serious about it, too.

No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

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.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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.

The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
R. C. Sproul
Image
I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.

If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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.

The fundamental loss of a desire for God is the heart of original sin.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.

The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.

God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us He made us.
