Inspirational Quotes by R. C. Sproul

“One might pray and not be a Christian, but one cannot be a Christian and not pray.”

“speaking about unbelief based on insufficient evidence. To withhold”

“and believers existing side by side. This means unbelief can gain entrance into the church. But it never can gain entrance into Christ. The Christ we believe, the Christ we trust,”

“Prayer, like everything else in the Christian life, is for God's glory and for our benefit, in that order.”

“We need Christ—the real Christ. A Christ born of empty speculation or created to squeeze into the philosopher’s pattern simply won’t do. A recycled Christ, a Christ of compromise, can redeem no one. A Christ watered down, stripped of power, debased of glory, reduced to a symbol, or made impotent by scholarly surgery is not Christ but Antichrist.”

“First, they stopped thanking Him for His provision. Second, they stopped asking Him for His provision. Third, they began grumbling about His provision. Finally, they began reminiscing about how good things had been in Egypt. They dreamed about the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, and the garlic they had had in Egypt—all the while forgetting about the oppression, the hardships, and the tortures they had endured at the hands of Pharaoh.”

“Podemos estar seguros de que ser culpables de pecado no nos descalifica del privilegio de venir a la presencia de Dios. El salmista no está hablando de cometer pecado, sino de permitirlo. Los puritanos hablaban del concepto de permitir el pecado. No es tanto la victoria sobre el pecado lo que tenemos que mirar como la batalla misma. Estamos en una batalla constante contra el pecado, y nunca resultamos ilesos. Una de las señales del verdadero cristiano es que nunca cesa de luchar. No siempre gana, aunque ganará la batalla definitiva por causa de Cristo. Si una persona llega a rendirse en la batalla, entonces realmente ha aceptado el mal, lo ha legitimado. En una palabra, lo aprueba, incluso lo permite. En un sermón sobre la primera de las bienaventuranzas, “Bienaventurados los pobres en espíritu”, el gran predicador inglés Charles Haddon Spurgeon dijo que “el pecador orgulloso quiere a Cristo, y sus propias fiestas; a Cristo y sus propias lujurias; a Cristo y su propia obstinación. ¡Aquel que es verdaderamente pobre en espíritu solo quiere a Cristo, y hará cualquier cosa, y dará cualquier cosa por tenerlo!”. Esto es lo que el Salmo 66 está sugiriendo. La idea misma de una persona intentando orar mientras abriga algún pecado, mientras se aferra a un pecado que no está dispuesto a rendir al señorío de Cristo, arroja una oscura sombra de duda sobre la validez de su condición de hijo.”

“The disciples were slow in grasping the expediency of Jesus’ departure. They resisted His determination to go to Jerusalem and took umbrage at His announcements of His coming death. Between the resurrection and the ascension, new light dawned on them as they”

“That source is the Greek word kuriache, which means "those who belong to the kurios." Thus, church in its literal origin means "the people who belong to the Lord.”

“We pray to glorify God, but we also pray in order to receive the benefits of prayer from His hand. Prayer is for our benefit, even in light of the fact that God knows the end from the beginning. It is our privilege to bring the whole of our finite existence into the glory of His infinite presence.”

“commemoration like Christmas and Easter. The event is described only twice in the New Testament. I am now convinced that no single event in the life of Jesus”

“When we pray, we must remember who God is and who we are before Him. We must remember first and foremost that God's name is to be kept holy. We must remember that He is the Source of our provision and that all good things come from Him. We are to live in such a way that we make visible the kingdom of God in this world. We must regularly confess our sin, for that is one of the surest marks of a Christian. We are to pray that God will protect us from the evil one.”

“Cristo… Señor… Rabí… Hijo del Hombre… Hijo de Dios… Hijo de David… León de Judá… la Rosa de Sarón… el Brillante Lucero de la Mañana… el Alfa y la Omega… el Logos… el Abogado… el Príncipe de Paz… el unigénito del Padre… el Cordero sin defecto…” Y”

“La exaltación de Cristo no solo fue política; también fue sacerdotal. Él no solo asumió el cetro del Rey, sino también la vestimenta del Sumo Sacerdote. En su ascensión, Jesús entró al santuario así como al palacio. Jesús no solo se sienta a la derecha de Dios, sino que se arrodilla. Él ha entrado al Lugar Santísimo, el Santo de los Santos, para interceder a diario por su pueblo. Somos un pueblo cuyo Rey ora por nosotros llamándonos por nuestro nombre.”
