R. C. Sproul quotes about
For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.
But the blessing Christ promised, the blessing of great reward, is a reward of grace. The blessing is promised even though it is not earned. Augustine said it this way: Our rewards in heaven are a result of God's crowning His own gifts.
Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
Grace and mercy are never deserved.
Just as the normative standard for the good and for the true is God, so the ultimate standard of beauty is God.
To despise doctrine is to despise the Word of God.
There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.
The idea of being the Substitute in offering an atonement to satisfy the demands of God’s law for others was something Christ understood as His mission from the moment He entered this world and took upon Himself a human nature. He came from heaven as the gift of the Father for the express purpose of working out redemption as our Substitute, doing for us what we could not possibly do for ourselves.
Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads
By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.
It is imperative that the Christian, at the beginning of his pursuit to understand what true worship is, gets it clear that the object of our worship is to be God and God alone.
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
We break our promises to one another. We break our promises to God. But God never breaks His promises to us.
I had actually gone to a church-related college, but I went on a football scholarship, not because of any interest in the church.
