Our God is a consuming fire. He's terrifying. And yet, it's that same God, in Christ, to whom we must take refuge. He paid for & took the punishment for our sins that we deserved. It's mind boggling!
What an understanding R.C. had in his relationship with God (exclamation point). I'm so thankful for the technology that allows me to continue to learn from this unusually gifted spokesman as God's ambassador.. Even though I've never met him, I miss him being on the earth. I can't wait to meet him in Heaven!
So fun!! That's what I think when I listen to R. C!! Can't wait to talk with him about all his preachings while in the presence of our Holly Beautiful Good God !!
These sermons give me a deeper understanding of the God i will one day stand before. (2 Cor 5: 10). I am in awe and wonder of His holiness. The closer i am to God, the more i recognize my sinfulness and when i come to Him, i crumble before Him in reverant respect and a holy fear. Too many people only want to see Jesus as the humble carpenter from Nazareth. I was one of those at one time. So thankful that my prospective has changed. Thank you Holy Spirit for revealing this to me.
"There is not one person in a thousand who understands the seriousness of not being perfect. Because the standard by which we will be judged ultimately is not a curve, but it will be the standard of God's perfection."
Norman Pelley Why do you say rest in peace, has he passed away? Or just saying rest in God's peace . I had never heard of R C Sprout until yesterday on his own sermons. I had just seen him on group discussions as an one of the older persons in group.but this man really touched me with the sincerity of his words that came to me as if he was so sorrowful that there will be many lost and not be touched by his message. But God knows each one of our hearts and knows that Mr. RCSprouts heart is or was at the moment he delivered this message to us. We all need to rest in God's love and peace if we believe in his Son and abide in his word. Peace and love to all!!!!
He's not resting! He's alive with the Lord! He has perfect peace as he gazes upon the Prince of Peace. We are not of the world, and we do not mourn as the world mourns. We do not need their phrases.
Wow honestly what a great sermon! How often we need to be reminded of God's Holiness and how utterly unholy we are, this reminds us of how utterly sweet God's forgiveness is, it reminds us of his incredible mercy on us as fallen man, and his incredible love and compassion! Praise be to God!
This may be his magnum opus. I encourage anyone to listen intently to the gospel being delivered here, meditating on it as if your very LIFE depended on how you respond to it because there is no doubt in my mind, it does.
R C Sproul’s exposition on the HOLINESS OF GOD is generally, I believe, considered to be his magnum opus. A philosopher who became a great theologian and viewed philosophy as the handmaid of theology.
27:7 I love his expression and his innocence about the beauty of the confessional it’s so beautiful. This man is one of my favorites teachers of the word of God.👏💕 May God bless him!
It has beautiful elements. But the catholic confessional is blasphemous and unholy. Billions of people are on their way to hell believing the self saved. Are you one of those? For you are NOT forgiven by men, nor is the priest or the church of Rome your mediator. That honour belongs to Jesus and Jesus alone! You are forgiven by the, Father through the mediation of His son, who died ONCE AND FOR ALL for your sin, that you might be saved by His grace and mercy alone. Grace plus nothing! That's it. It's the gospel in a nutshell. You do not need Eine, the Pope, priests, saints, Mary or anyone else to intercede for you, and they certainly cannot forgive you!
When he said that I thought of Jefferson's words when he said, "Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is JUST and His JUSTICE will not sleep forever." Gives me chills when I reflect on the very sad shape our nation is in spiritually and morally! We are definitely living on borrowed time! This is not the time to cowar but to be bold and speak the TRUTH! FEAR NO MAN!!! If we truly love someone we must tell them the truth no matter what the cost! On that note please pray for me.
i never seen that holy spectrum of holyness of God but i did felt more than once the piercing fire of holyness upon my very soul and just to cry and cry was my ultimate response at those wonderfull and unforgetable marked moments in my life.
Our God is Absolutely Holy Holy Holy , We cannot even begin to understand His Holynes , how can we ? We are sinful mortal, Our intelligence was damage by sin. Even. a regenerated man like Isaiah says Woe is Me. When God open our eyes to see true Holyness , it reduce us to nothing, so humbling ,why do we judge and. Insult each other, thank God for Jesus's gift of Himself. Fucus on God and God Alone. Amen.
How beautiful in the Mountain are the feet of those that bring Good News ....Understanding the holiness of God and his righteousness nature, truly is trauma to the Ungodly....and a realization of the Nature of the deprived man rebellious and running 🏃 away from God...but because of his Grace and Mercy those he predestined he called and those he called he justified and those he justified he also glorified.. Thanks be to God, for his begotten Son that however believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life..it is cause of the atoning work of Christ on the Cross that we are declared righteousness by faith in Him. Abiding in the word of God is a true believers sanctification process and we are being transformed into the image of his Son ..love R.C Sproul a bond servant of Christ that has gone to be with Christ..he was a blessing from God and is still contributing to the spiritual growth of many and to the kingdom, he’s reward will be great 👍🏾...I’m for expository preachers men that understand the Sovereign Grace of God and his nature and are able to preach in Truth and Love.He is righteous and those that practice righteousness are born of God. So grateful for his Sermons and Sound doctrines.....he was truly a faithful man of God .
@@rebeccaj7164 very sad to hear that... You lack fundamental Christian doctrine. Once forgiven, always forgiven! Then there after 1Jn1:9 kicks in.... If you commit any transgression or your conscience condemns you for something you've done... Confess it and ask for forgiveness and he is faithful and just to forgive you. And cleans you from all unrighteousness...! Christian life is one of joy not sadness. Blessings.
I would say the holiness of God is traumatic even to his own people. We may have holiness attributed to our account, but we are yet still unclean, and will remain so until our glorification. What I’m curious about is: Will we be able to look upon the face of God, even after our glorification, or is it still too powerful?
We're all unholy people but only to the repentant is the holiness of God traumatic now, at the end of time is when the holiness of God will be traumatic to the unrepentant but a joy to those made holy by the Son.
You are missing the entire point, my friend! It should be traumatic to Christ followers, as well! If you don't get the why and how of that, your understanding of the gospel is dull!
Wow! We really have no comprehension of God's holiness. If we did, we would not fear the patheitc things on this fallen earth because our fear of God would far outweigh anything at all.
This may have been the most important theological presentation in the last 100 years. The impact of this one lesson, taught to a room of maybe thirty people, would go on to have a transcendent impact on the future ministry of John MacArthur (and all the battles for the faith they waged together in the future), Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, Steve Lawson, Tim Conway, and hosts and hosts of others. What the LORD accomplishes through His frail servants staggers the mind. It was MacArthur's sermon, "The Forgotten Side of God" where my faith cast its anchor, (Tim Conway's as well, incidentally). When he read verse 7, of Isaiah 6, I didn't hear the rest of the sermon. It was ME who was undone. After 20 minutes of uncontrollable, loud, gasping sobs, I was free and the burden of my sins had been nailed to the cross of Christ, and I bore it no more, and the first thing the Holy Spirit changed, wouldn't ya know it, was my mouth! Praise our King for His unspeakable Grace!
Praise the Lord Jesus! I generally read and study the scriptures with the KJV, and R. C. is right in that the archaic English has the punch! that is missing with the newer versions! I have read through Revelation in the KJV several times, for instance, and I TREMBLE at the GRAPHIC scenes of God's pouring out His wrath on an evil world that is DESERVING of it! Father God sent His Only begotten Son to atone for humanity's filthy sins! ALL
In Jewish culture it was customary to repeat something 3 times in order to affirm the strength of the truth of the statement. Trihagion is a word that refers to the repetition of the word holy, meaning God's predominant nature is holiness.
My church is protestant, but we have the ability to talk to our elder (the local shepherd) and confess sins. We're supposed to confess our sins one to another... Too bad R.C. couldn't have attended our church.
I agree with you... It's like he said... The outcome of the reformation has been to throw out the baby with the bath water when it came to this biblical teaching... 2 Cor.7:1 the kjv has cleans, which should be confess, and be cleansed. Js. 5:16. Pr. 28:11. All these and more are about confession in order to be corrected, instructed in righteousness. 2Tim.3:16. Not only by preaching, but by private counseling also.
How did God appear to Isaiah? INTRODUCTION: Isaiah faced a crisis when his beloved sovereign, king Uzziah, died. But that same year God appeared to him in one of the most amazing visions in the Bible. Isaiah saw the Lord in His holiness and glory. But that made Isaiah realize his own weakness and wickedness. Sproul was wrong on that point.. Isaiah was in (vision) seeing the LORD'S train fill the temple...
So Mr. Sproul suggests a sado-macho relation between men and god? Well, you always get the god you have shaped for yourself. If you prefer to regard yourself as worthless ...
@@Yesica1993 Homework for you: Watch the video and find the sections which show Sprouls deranged opinion of the god- man relationship. Don´forget the time stamp!
Thank you Jesus for R.C. Sproul and his ministry.❤
Our God is a consuming fire. He's terrifying. And yet, it's that same God, in Christ, to whom we must take refuge. He paid for & took the punishment for our sins that we deserved. It's mind boggling!
Amen
He paid the dowry for His bride.
He will receive what He has paid for. Mind blowing indeed.
He is fair. He is just.
We all need to be constantly reminded of our unholiness.
@Richard Wolfe Indeed Richard Wolfe indeed.
With how the world has gotten, it's like all day, every day.
I think actuality what we need to be reminded of is HIS Holiness
We are to keep our eyes on Him not ourselves
Yes I agree. Am also learning to understand my true position under Christ.

This is beautiful:) and i couldn't agree more!
Same I never met him but when I found out he died even though I didn’t know him before he died my heart was torn.
Me too. I'm 56 and just found out about RC two years ago and I live 20 minutes from Ligonier Pennsylvania!

"There is not one person in a thousand who understands the seriousness of not being perfect. Because the standard by which we will be judged ultimately is not a curve, but it will be the standard of God's perfection."

Correction we have already been judged in such a way. That is why we were banished from the Tree of life to this place. John 3 18

the mention of the word holy is not numerical limited , the angelical creatures claim holy , holy , holy UNCEASANGLY
That makes it more profound because the more something is repeated, the more important it is.
In Jewish culture it was customary to repeat something 3 times in order to affirm the strength of the truth of the statement.
Trihagion is a word that refers to the repetition of the word holy, meaning God's predominant nature is holiness.
as long as we allow God the wheel of our behaviour we are all under a real sinful nature that is well manifested in public and as well in secret .
