God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.
R. C. SproulThe only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.
R. C. SproulIf you donโt delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you donโt know God. You donโt love God. Youโre out of touch with God. Youโre asleep to his character.
R. C. SproulManโs will is free to follow his inclinations, but fallen manโs inclinations are always and invariably away from God.
R. C. SproulFallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.
