Asleep in the Light: Choosing My Religion with R.C. Sproul

[@cherylwatkins588]

I was 30 years old and pregnant with my fifth child. My partner was in hospital undergoing cancer treatment. Mum stayed with me for a few nights taking turns with my sister so I wasn't on my own. Mum was asleep in the chair and I slept on the sofa. I opened my eyes, sat up and felt what I can only describe as a "bubble" that grew and grew with such an intense feeling that I began to cry. Mum woke up and asked me what was wrong. I told her "everything is going to be ok". I sobbed. Mum told me the Holy Spirit was with me. I had no idea. I believed my partner was going to be ok. That's what I believed. Sadly, my partner passed away when my youngest was 11 weeks old and was Christened in her Daddy's hospital room. Only now, almost 30 years later, do I understand what I thought. Everything is absolutely ok. After leaving the Roman Catholic church I started attending a Pentecostal church. I left because of things that didn't sit right, because sin and repentance wasn't taught and it was all "ear tickling". I now attend a Reformed church. I have learned a lot but I have a lot to unlearn. I fully believe God was with me that night, that He calls me His daughter and I absolutely believe Jesus Christ died for me and that He is my Lord and Saviour. God is so good 🙏❤️

I was raised in a strict bible believing church, but one dark and sad night I realized that I didn’t love Jesus. I prayed, “Jesus I don’t love you, I know what you did, but I don’t love you, but I don’t want to go to hell.” Then I prayed, “Jesus please give me the love to love you,” I know it was a strange a circular request. So, I went to sleep feeling really condemned. I condemned myself for unbelief, and I thought that was the end of it. A few days later while reading Matthew 5, I still read the Bible; yes, reading the sweet words of Jesus, I felt a joy come over me so overwhelming, so strong. For the first time in my life I was so deeply in love with Jesus, I saw Him as He truly is.

[@solobo5823]

The closer we are to understanding Gods holiness, the more we appreciate the mercy of God in His redeeming us. The grace of God in giving us what we do not deserve and the love God has for us in Christ Jesus our Messiah. Praise be to God and holy, holy holy is His name. God bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ and peace be with y'all.

I was blessed 22 years ago,with an "encounter"with God. I was praying with my eyes closed and then He appeared. I didn't see Him with my eyes,I saw him in my spirit. It was a beautiful feeling, I was in awe. I was a very bad way at the time. My marraige had failed. I remember vividly how He hugged me & making me feel SO loved. That's how He found me,just when I needed Him most. I was born again that day!

Dr. Sproul was used by God to wake me up in my conversion, how to have a relationship with God. 5 years ago when I heard Dr. Sproul first time, vividly. To the Holiness of God, to the exciting Word of God now because Dr. Sproul gives clear concrete that goes visual in my head and rivets me to attention. Just like he is preaching teaching right now.

What you thought you saw may not have been seeing Jesus, but Satan who presented himself as Jesus. Satan is capable of this kind of deception .

[@josephwatts9013]

@ no, because I didn’t say I “saw” anything! I said encountered and that absolutely was not Satan, what I felt was the enormity of GOD the vastness and weight of who he is. If I were Satan I would still be afraid but the fear that I felt that night was an awakening and understanding how sinful and wrong I had been to that point. Nope not Satan at all but thanks for your input

He has saved my life 8 times.. friends used to say i was a cat with 9 lives.. and i was on my last life.. and im still here. He still hasn't told me what my mission is. It takes a lot to say, not my will Father, but Yours be done. Ive tried to focus and meditate on the garden of Gethsemane, and how intense the Lord was in prayer. I wish i could i pray like that, to be that close to God. Lord have Mercy. My focus now.. is to lead with God first, and whatever is next. I want him to know that he is above everything i have.. even my children.. i will not make that mistake again. I love the Lord. Its easy to say that we would die with him, but he doesnt want that.. he wants us to Live for Him, not die. I had my goal in the wrong place, so i had to change that. Yes Lord, i Will Live for You. Thank you Lord.

[@Shawn-q3x]

Most people are choosing Satan: Our God is a jealous God over us, because we all originated from Him. There is a war going on; it is a battle for our soul: God wants us to return to him simply because he loves us; but on the other hand, Satan wants us to disdain God. Satan wants us to be like he is and dishonor, disagree, insult, and stay unworthy in God’s eyes. Everyone was with God eternally until Adam and Eve sinned and chose to listen to Satan over God. History is repeating itself. Only those who hear Jesus' words and believe in God will return to God and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to life (John 5:24).

[@jaakkopitkanen6736]

I have a question: the atonement that Jesus performed has 3 parts i) life without sin from the birth to the death. Any angel also but no human could have lived it. ii) payment of the punishment of everybody’s sins starting in Getsemane and completed on the cross when he said ”it has been fullfilled” was only possible by Jesus, even no angel would not have been cabable to stand. iii) the crusifiction, anybody could have been crucified but Jesus was still working with our sins all the time. Honest question: do you think thatI have grasped it correctly?

[@sierragrey7910]

You’re grasping it. Jesus was a perfect sacrifice because in him there was no sin. So, he was qualified as a sacrifice. On the cross our sin was placed upon him. He bore it all. And his perfect sacrifice made it possible for God to impute his righteousness to us. What a wonderful exchange.

Holy does not mean to pretend to be good like many do. God does not pretend. He IS holy. He is GOOD. He is GREAT. He is GOD and not a human being. The best advice I can give you is to ask God Himself to explain this to your understanding...and He will when you least expect it.

[@junkiedropouts3186]

No man has ever been Holy, except for Jesus as he is God in man. Only God is void of sin, free from human material desires and influences. The best we can hope for in this life is constantly reducing our evil natures through sanctification by the Holy Spirit.

[@Dross-s5n]

If you have zero experience you are not saved. Correct.

[@BrianNichols85]

Every Christian has a basic experience of God in their conversion. The Bible uses words like new creature, good tree, born again, new life, transformed, putting on Christ etc to describe the conversion experience. There are degrees of this experience. Not everyone has a Road to Damascus experience at conversion. So it's not required. What is required is a new heart that hates sin and yearns for righteousness. This is a supernatural work. So If you've experienced that, you've experienced God.

Do you have the fruit of the spirit? Are you aware of the seriousness of sin in the presence of a Holy, perfect, pure and Majestic God? Do you hate sin? Is your conscience sensitive to sin in a way it was not before? Do you love and desire the Bible more than anything else in life? Do you swear? Do you immediately repent when you sin? Do you pray and meditate on the Word? Are you at peace with God and feel Christ's rest? These are some questions for you.@@madjackie523

Is Christ distinct from God? That's what Sproul says in the Epilogue.

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Now that you know this you can stop seeking clever doctrine to find God, and start looking inward 😮

Study the word, stop looking for signs and wonders from these self appointed “prophets”. This guy is no prophet. Seek Christ, not the words of false prophets and teachers. “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Listen to the Bible.

Sir, you are entitled to your own view but you are out of line. RC Sproul served the Lord for his entire adult life. He is an excellent expositor of the Bible. This was not not a sermon.
