The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
R. C. SproulIt is superstitious to equate our feelings and inclinations with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
R. C. SproulGod not only initiated my salvation, He not only sowed the seed, but He made sure that that seed germinated in my heart by regenerating me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
R. C. SproulPerhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on Godโs grace and Godโs grace alone for our celebration. It is difficult for our pride to rest on grace. Grace is for other peopleโfor beggars. We donโt want to live by a heavenly welfare system. We want to earn our own way and atone for our own sins. We like to think that we will go to heaven because we deserve to be there.
