I still can't believe how someone can speak so profoundly yet so understandable. In 3 minutes btw

To God be the glory who has chosen us to show forth His praises.
May God reward you for sharing this video with us.

thank you Lord for the blood of Jesus which washes away my sins!

[wbcamino]

My heart is broken seen how mercy is God to us, and how Siners we are.
Praise the Lord for his mercy !!

[tamitha]

thank u God for setting me free from my sins!!!!

[coffeeloversuefa]

Amen Amen and Amen. True freedom comes from God. I rather be slave for God.

This is so helpful, RC Sproul helps me to understand the Reformed theology. He has a gift to help people understand some difficult doctrine easily as learning 123.

We are free to sin, which means we're actually slaves to it. So our "freedom" is actually bondage. Our true freedom comes from being servants to Christ. And who the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:34-36). The mistake comes when we think we're free in our sin nature to do anything pleasing to God, which Romans 3:10-12 and 8:6-8 tells us is not true at all. And what is the most pleasing thing we could do towards God; seek Him and repent of our sins and trusting Christ. Yet our whole nature of sin is against God because we're spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-3) and our nature is to transgress against the laws of God (1 John 3:4). This is why man is responsible, because he knows all about God (Romans 1:18-23) but denies Him in every fiber of his being. Without God's grace to save us, we would be rightfully hell-bound based on our radical depraved nature. Yet Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us it is by His grace through faith that we're saved, not of our works, lest we boast.

What an amazing doctrine. Always brings me to tears. Thank you my almighty God for everything you do and thank you for RC

[eddiesprain]

We are inclined toward sin, but we are able to respond positively to the gospel message in faith.

[gracesue]

True Freedom,
True Joy,
True Quality of life are only found in Jesus Christ ..He fully satisfies our innermost being !

[truthseeker]

RC is definitely one of God's educators. I have learned so much from listening to his explanations. Of the Bible. Even though he is with the Father his presence is still felt.

[BiblicalDhiman]

True Freedom lies within the boundaries and that's why God planted a tree of knowledge of good and evil.

[snicfeelthelove]

Amen! Thanks God for His Mercy through Lord Jesus Christ!❤

[cathyhamlin]

If Jesus hadn't reveal himself to me
while I was in the midst of my sinful
lifestyle, I don't think my life would
have changed, his calling on me was
irresistible, I knew I had to accept him, praise God I did

R.C. and Ligonier Ministries mean very much to the sheep!
Thank you for all that you do!
Who was, Who is, Who is to come...

[superbee]

The fallen nature of the sinner can no more respond to the Gospel apart from the Holy Spirit than Lazarus could respond to the command to come out of the tomb ... Every true believer is the result of a sovereign act of the Father .. The Father "draws" the sinner to Jesus and grants the sinner the faith to trust the Father's only Begotten for their salvation.... Shalom and Maranatha!!

[thomassj]

Amen! Good and clear word! Anyone else see the little kid in the front row? We need to teach and train kids in truth!

[morriswilburn]

No one is saved without being drawn by the Holy Spirit. Some of the people being drawn accept Him, others reject Him.
