For a work to be considered good it must not only conform outwardly to the law of God, but it must be motivated inwardly by a sincere love for God.
R. C. SproulThe only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
R. C. SproulWithout the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
R. C. SproulWe want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin. We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father. The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized. Sin always accompanies misery. There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanityโs rebellion from God.
