More quotes by 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 more I learn about God, the more aware I become of what I don’t know about him.
R. C. Sproul
The great misconception in our day is this: that God isn´t concerned to protect His own integrity. He´s a kind of wishy-washy deity, who just waves a wand of forgiveness over everybody. No. For God to forgive you is a very costly matter.
R. C. Sproul
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
R. C. Sproul
There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
R. C. Sproul
Christ is still in Christmas, and for one brief season the secular world broadcasts the message of Christ over every radio station and television channel in the land. Never does the church get as much free air time as during the Christmas season.
R. C. Sproul
We are puzzled and bewildered whenever we see suffering in this world because we have become accustomed to the mercy and the long-suffering of God. Amazing grace is no longer amazing to us.
R. C. Sproul
The fundamental loss of a desire for God is the heart of original sin.
R. C. Sproul
If the God you believe in is not a sovereign God, then you really don't believe in God.
R. C. Sproul
It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.
R. C. Sproul
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
R. C. Sproul
The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.
R. C. Sproul
In Christian marriage, love is not an option. It is a duty.
R. C. Sproul
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
R. C. Sproul
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
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
If God did not act first, no one would be saved.
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
Sin is cosmic treason
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
