R. C. Sproul quotes about
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.
There’s a long and sacred history of the use of X to symbolize the name of Christ, and from its origin, it has meant no disrespect.
There are times when we suffer innocently at other people’s hands. When that occurs, we are victims of injustice. But that injustice happens on a horizontal plane. No one ever suffers injustice on the vertical plane. That is, no one ever suffers unjustly in terms of his or her relationship with God. As long as we bear the guilt of sin, we cannot protest that God is unjust in allowing us to suffer.
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
To be a Christian is to be a theologian-a student of God and his will. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church.
Reformed theology so far transcends the mere five points of Calvinism that it is an entire worldview.
God's grace is so powerful that it has the capacity to overcome our natural resistance to it.
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian has a theology. The issue, then, is not, dowe want to have a theology? That's a given. The real issue is, do we have a sound theology.? Do we embrace true or false doctrine?
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
Nothing could be more irrational than the idea that something comes from nothing.
If you truly have it, you never lose it; and if you lose it, you never truly had it.
The most violent expression of God's wrath and justice is seen in the Cross. If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus. He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.
