- One of the greatest distortions in our thinking is seen in the assumption that God owes us mercy. The truth is, each of us has committed capital crimes against the sovereign and holy God. In this message, R.C. Sproul reminds us that even the smallest sin is treason against our holy King. Dr. Sproul observes the reality of God’s justice and the astonishing gift of His grace.
This message is from Dr. Sproul’s 6-part teaching series Fear and Trembling. Learn more: www.ligonier.org/learn/series...
RC was a great man of God. He taught scripture with warmth, humor, and truth.
You were so dear to so many Mr Sproul. Thank you for leaving us your teachings. Praise God for what he did on your life.
What a joy and treasure to sit under this man’s understanding and ability to teach the Holy Scriptures through the gift of media as God has purposed in His Sovereignty. All glory, praise and worship to our Lord God and Father…and thank you brother R.C.
Wow!! As he proceeded with the lecture, it felt like I was watching a scene from a movie play out at some point, the way he is able to capture the mind with his explanations 🤎❤💯 Absolutely amazing.
Amen! Thank you Dr. Sproul! Excellent and extremely important teaching!
God owes us nothing! So used to His mercy and grace, we take it for granted! Thank you for posting this awesome message, reminder of the justice we deserve, and the mercy we receive instead by God's grace!
I'm also reminded of Paul who writes ,"I don't do the things I should and still do the things I shouldn't ". Sanctification is a process, when we except Christ into our hearts he starts working on removing all unholy things in our hearts the key is daily communication with Him, i.e. praying, worshipping, and doing all things as if working directly for him and with him, because his spirit is actually guiding your steps if you stumble he will set you straight just like a earthly father would, amen and hallelujah. Thank you Father for the good works you've begun in me which you are faithful to complete in Jesus Christ beautiful and matchless name amen and hallelujah praise God for He is so worthy ‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🎶🎶
Father in Heaven, U have been so Patient with me, I humbly stand before U and acknowledge my quilt of exactly what this teaching is about. Heavenly Father Please forgive me my arrogance, please I am ashamed!! I beg Your forgiveness and mercy I know now how U feel, please Jesus, King of all Kings sitting on the right side of The Holy One , Creator EL God Most High!!Amen
Like the saying a rose is a rose is a rose so it goes for sin. A sin is a sin is a sin‼️ all sin is unholy to the extent that our holy father cannot allow it in his Kingdom, but oh how great is grace and mercy to send a replacement to pay the price for all EVIL. Thank you Jesus my Rock and savior for redemption. Fill me to overflowing with your holy spirit that I may bring glory and honor to your holy name 🔥🙏🎁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🎯✝️
oh what a merciful God, full of Grace and longsuffering; but why is it, that God the Father who is so very patience with me, why is it that i'm still not patient with my neighbors? oh God give me justice which is what i deserve but in the of Christ i beg for mercy! Amen
The audacity of these false teachers of today, twisting the Word of God (Christ) to please sinful man. I thank God (Christ) for true biblical teachers like our late Dr R.C. Sproul. 🙂❤
Yet don't you say, "Jesus is not God alone"?
@@dw-rh6fb Your comment/question makes no sense.
@@rhondae8222 ill rephrase for you...
Is Jesus your one and only God, or do you believe in multiple "Gods" that agree with each other?
@@dw-rh6fb Jesus is God.
If you have to question who God (Christ) is, then, you need to question your salvation.
Thanks for these biblical truths. Praise God (Christ).
Short and sweet! Once again I’m amazed!
Praise the Lord
I have a love for Jesus that is so overwhelming that it scares me sometime I want to be with him when I die because of the sacrifices he made on the cross he gave his life for me how can you not love someone that would die for you his death was such a difficult that was so painful that when I think about the way he died and brings tears to my eyes it says in the Bible that we are supposed to confess our sins I was addicted to alcohol and drugs at a young age God to take it away from me so that I could really do honor and praise to him one day I lost the urge to drink but I had the urge to use drugs I will cry and beg God to deliver me from from those drugs that I used I'm on 100 mg of methadone please pray for me because I need deliverance from this drug I believe in prayer I was always too afraid to admit it this is the first time that I have okay Lord Jesus I have admitted to my use please deliver me from this methadone through your mercy your blood and your grace
I don't know what this run on sentence is, or what it has to do with this message. What I do know is talking about "overwhelming love for Jesus" while choosing to continue to poison yourself with drugs is self deception. But Jesus does love YOU. Ask your church to help you. If they won't or can't, find one that will. Don't give up until you find one. Jesus Christ loves you. He does not want this to be your life! If you continue this way, you will destroy yourself. Please seek out Christian based help.
I would love to see how your pastor handles it when you jump up in the middle of his sermon to ask questions. Disgusting. REPENT!
Let he who is whiteout sin cast the first stone
@@Yesica1993 I find it very bold to assume you know what God sees best for someone. I imagine he’s on the right path considering the the latter. Ernest, don’t give up hope and don’t let others deter you from the faith. God loves you. Talk to your doctor about getting off. I know some of these chemicals are harder to get off than others but it isn’t impossible. Stay in the word and stay humble. He rewards those who earnestly seek his face. Hebrews 11:6
@@ernesthammock1542 I'm not "whiteout" sin. I don't know what this even has to do with what I said. I told you to ask your church for help and keep seeking it until you find some. If you refuse to do that, if you want to keep destroying your body and mind by choosing to use drugs, then stop going on about how much you love Jesus.
That is how you know those who believe all of the Word of God (Christ) from those who don't. The unbelievers pick and choose from the bible what they want to believe.
Amen 🙏 perfectly said 👏
Besides being so cute he is very smart in pretending he’s not looking at the chips. Give him some for being so polite
Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Hebrews 12:29
"for our God is a consuming fire."
Hebrews: 10: 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Ligonier: could you please increase sound of video's, some of the other video's also soft
Our God - Jesus Christ - is terrifying. The older I get, the more I see that. He is not an old grandfather in the sky. He is not Santa Claus, waiting to give us our ever wish. We have to wake up. How many people are playing games, calling themselves Christians, when they are not regenerate? How many people have even sat in churches for years and aren't even saved? I didn't grow up in church, so I didn't think that was possible! But through the years I've seen so many people who call themselves Christians who aren't even going to church. It's a really new thing with the Covid nonsense of the past few years. I was DYING to get back in church. I begged my church to open and they refused. But I hear from people that after churches reopened, they never went back! I just cannot fathom that. And I'm talking about people who had been faithfully attending and serving in their churches for decades. Now they "do church" online. Mind boggling. When are we going to wake up?
@@1Whipperin The Bible commands and expects followers of Christ to go to church. You WILL cease trying to stop followers of Christ from doing so. And you WILL one day stand before this Christ and give account for your relentless, wicked efforts to lead Christians astray. Know that. Repent, while He still grants you breath to do so.
@Bill Baehr you're just showing that you still don't understand what it meant when people say church, even though its been explained to you many times.
The church is the body of Christ, not a building. But yes Hebrews says that we shouldn’t neglect the assembling of ourselves as is the manner of some. It’s not an express commandment. Going to church does not equal salvation. Salvation only comes when you repent and put your trust in Jesus for your salvation. Plus there are many Christians who cannot go to church or even leave their houses due to health reasons. Do they need to repent?
@@mindyjay77 A W Pink was a hyper-Calvinist, so I wouldn't take Bill's advice.
sad u think Jesus is terrifying..how do u live with that
Absolute truth
Nice one.
... 👼 Amen!.👼...
Good morning from Alberta, Canada. Wasn't it men who built the ark of the covenant?
Hi there! It indeed was men who built the ark of the covenant, yet it was men that God specifically called to build (see Exodus 31:1-11). Bezalel specifically then went in Exodus 37 and built the ark of the covenant.
Futhermore, God specifically commanded and warned in Numbers 4:15 that the Kohathites "must not touch the holy things, lest they die." including the ark of the covenant as well (see the context of Num. 4).
That's why Uzzah was struck dead, because he disobeyed God's specific commandment not to touch the ark. Whereas Bezalel who actually built the ark, was precisely commanded to do so by God and thus he obeyed. See Exodus 39:42-43.
Hope this helped and have a blessed day!
Oh hey
Is God in need of a savior that you might have no fear of Him?
Fear God, for Jesus is the one and only.
Strange question.
@@HearGodsWord do you think you are doing God's work and that His plan would fail without you?
@@dw-rh6fb another strange question.
@@HearGodsWord its a "yes or no" question.
Your answer is strange. Are you unfamiliar with "yes or no" questions?
@@dw-rh6fb maybe you'll find out if you ever repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
RC Sprouls.. This man never understood Gods Justice or Gods Love.. basing his theology on outside doctrine from Augustine and Calvin.. Everything he says is an expose of Eiseges from a Calvinist Preacher.. Good man.. who truly never understood Gods Word. RC Sprouls is a prime example of what TULIP and the doctrine of Gods Sovereignty (Def by Calvinist) can rearrange Gods Word…
One Scripture only one and there’s many?
Hosea 6:6, For I desire Mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
If only RC Sprouls believed in Galatians 6:7..
Galatians 6:7 NKJV
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
That is Gods Universal Law..
Sad and beyond belief.. how this minister never could arrive at the correct biblical conclusions…
Look in the mirror and what do you see? Please examine yourself.
Antonio, examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Don't be deceived.
@@jonathanfreeman4607 Of spoken like a true deceived Calvinist.... Its astonishing that you and every other Calvinist can read Gods Word. Calvinist like you, yell from the house tops about those criticizing the idiocy and heresy of Calvinism and yet believe that God determines all things. If you do believe that then your a hypocrite.
Shouldn't you be thanking God for determining me to expose this wretched doctrine that destroys the redemptive work of Christ and proclaims that God requires his children to love; his enemies, his brothers, but He himself can hate.
Turn your spiritual brain on Jonathan its off.
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. I believe Jesus is the Son of Man from Daniel Chapter 7, I believe that Jesus died for the whole world for all those who would believe, I believe that Jesus came in the Flesh, I believe that Faith is a Gift obtained through Hearing and Hearing the Word of God. I believed I am saved by Grace....THROUGH FAITH (WHICH IS NOT A WORK) AND NOT BY WORKS.
Jonathan I heard John MacArthur preach over 35 years ago and knew immediately He was mixing truth (to bring people in) followed by another doctrine that was not Gods Word. Calvinist like yourself don't have the ability to challenge Calvinism BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF GODS WORD. U R aware of Calvinist Doctrine.
Your assumption that I need to check myself.... No need, Jesus is my Lord, unfortunately Your Lord might be Calvinism and you are not even aware of it.
@@icilahmb So, I get it. Everyone is deceived but you. The Doctrines of Grace are the doctrine of the Bible. They are on almost every page. God is Sovereign over ALL. He does as He wills with His entire creation. It's always the Arminians who become nasty in comment sections. Without fail. We can disagree sadly.
@@jonathanfreeman4607 No Jonathan an ad hominem attack is just your inability to back your Calvinist beliefs. Calvinist have doctrinal error that is Heresy and Blasphemous. Does that mean that Calvinist are damned to hell? Absolutely not.
Peter decided to add the law (Works) for Salvation and Paul had to correct him? Although the was committing heresy.. Paul didn’t call him a heretic he corrected his error..
Well although I am called a Heretic l by Calvinist I do not consider Calvinist heretics.. I consider Calvinist Christians in Error of Doctrine. RC Sprouls loved Jesus that there is not doubt. The challenge is that he didn’t believe that others who were not Calvinist could do the same.. that is the problem.. I would be weary being a Calvinist teacher…
Matthew 7:1-2 ESV
"Judge not, that you be not judged. [2] For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
I personally have NEVER MET A CALVINIST that could stand on their beliefs without contradicting themselves..
I get confused by Christian’s like you Jonathan? You hear John White, John MacArthur, Justin Peters teach false application of election and say nothing?
First instance of all the world reached by God????
Genesis 12:3 ESV
I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
Of course Calvinist taught you to add.. “all the families of the elect”
Why Jonathan.. Why?
1 Corinthians 1:21 ESV
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
Jonathan THROUGH THE FOLLY OF PREACHING TO SAVE THOSE WHO BELIEVE..
Simple to understand.. until you meet a Calvinist..
First learn one thing Jonathan Calvinist have educationalized the gospel. God did not.
1 Cor 1:27
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
Is it foolish to believe Gods Word more than what we see? Yes we do Calvinist do not..
We walk by Faith and not by sight. 2 Cor 5:7.. Calvinism is a powerless version of Gods Word..
God answers prayer.. why? His Word says so.. but you as a Calvinist.. Kts futile to pray why?? God is sovereign.. what ever will be will be..
Jonathan.. run away from Calvinism.. look up Leighton Flowers.. and learn the true gospel…
