A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.

More quotes by 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
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
R. C. Sproul
Christ told his disciples not to be anxious about tomorrow, but he never said not to consider tomorrow. Intelligent problem solving demands careful consideration of the future effects of present solutions.
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
God wants your life. Not one hour a week, not 10% of your income, He wants you.
R. C. Sproul
To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God.
R. C. Sproul
I can’t make the Bible come alive for anyone. The Bible is already alive. It makes me come alive.
R. C. Sproul
God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.
R. C. Sproul
Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
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
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
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
It's because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church should take the concept seriously.
R. C. Sproul
If I know anything about the character of God after fifty years of ministry, I know that God hates abortion.
R. C. Sproul
The grounds of your justification are the perfect works of Jesus Christ. We're saved by works, but they're not our own.
R. C. Sproul
When people ask me to name the Ligonier teaching material they should use to help them grow I tell them, 'You should start with The Holiness of God.'
R. C. Sproul
You have to stop thinking logically to argue that the universe came into being by itself, out of nothing.
