Holiness and Justice: The Holiness of God with R.C. Sproul

[@jackmessick2869]

This was produced nearly 35 years ago, yet it is timeless.

[@triciabarnes268]

I didn’t hear RCS until after he died. He is my favorite teacher now.

[@RonaldMillsaps]

You obviously have a bend toward believing that truth changes over time. No, if doesn't. And Calvinism is not Christian.

[@Drelink17]

That’s what happens when you just teach the Bible. It’s timeless.

[@savedbylovinggrace]

@@RonaldMillsapswhats your argument against Calvinism?

[@RonaldMillsaps]

@@savedbylovinggrace A lot of things. For one, it suggests that God is the author of evil, which He isn't. The idea that He decides who becomes saved is absolutely false. Every aspect of TULIP theology is false. Furthermore, the pompous, smug, condescending, cultish attitude by Calvinists is not Christian. Neither is the lack of seeking the truth. When in college, for example,, for example, my brother and I attended a Calvinistic church with some friends who tried to sell us on Calvinism and became defensive when we rejected. Neither girl could in any way defend Calvinism, but they were "convinced" that it was true. I admire your response.

[@ronnywhite5602]

How sad that every person is not privileged to hear this sermon. We will all, one day, stand before a holy God.

[@doriskingori3769]

The more I understand the Holiness of God, the more I have reverent fear for Him, and the more I appreciate His wondrous Grace.

[@lisad8744]

Amen. I have alot to learn. Needing insight and revelation of God's Holiness. Thankful for R.C. Sproul teachings. ❤❤❤

[@RonaldMillsaps]

If you're a Calvinist, you're not a believer in God's holiness.

[@schisandra9921]

God’s amazing grace… so amazing

[@J.CForever]

I took a two week break from work and decided to study more about Gods holiness because I was really struggling in thought. This sermon series has made me cry many times because I see my sin 😭 and if I, a human see my sin so massively wicked, what more Gods holy eyes. Thank you so so much for JESUS❤

[@kvstvmaf3150]

Amen my friend.❤

[@viz8746]

R.C. Sproul is nothing short of amazing. The depth and breadth of this man's scholarship and his correct grasp of Scripture and exegesis are simply stupendous.

[@0j011]

My shame made me misty eyed after watching this video. My heart continuous to sink in humbleness with the thought of God's mercy and grace as He withholds his justice upon us. Thank you Lord God. Thank you for the Lord Jesus extending His arms as if saying " don't look at him Father. Look at me and my righteousness". Really have nothing to boast. All by His grace.

[@richardmanduch5104]

This is an amazing sermon by Dr. R.C. Sproul in the Mercy and Justice of God! What a powerful sermon. Praise God for His Mercy and Grace to us wretched horrible sinners. 😊

[@anabelletongco5456]

Thank you Dr. RC for this great preaching. Yes, I will not ask God for justice, but instead, ask Him for mercy and grace. Otherwise, I will perish.

[@thebcvbookchapterversepodc7886]

[@elviramercado1051]

[@RIPSGT]

When my prayers don't get answered or I don't get my way I get mad. Serious message needed for me today! Thank you.

[@Psalm_27.4]

@RIPSGT5105 I think we all have those feelings. I believe It is our Flesh, aka our Old Man, rearing its ugly head. If you're saved, know that it is not you--it just FEELS like you, because your flesh, and satan want you to think that you're still connected, even though through salvation, you have been CUT AWAY from your flesh by Christ's saving you! Like Satan, himself, the flesh is UNrepentant, and never gives up, and has a WHOLE bunch of tricks, including making you think your OLD nature and its feelings is the REAL you. See Romans 7 especially verses 5-25, and then Romans 8:1-17. All Grace to you.

[@bigjerm1631]

Yes its one of the many testaments to how wretched we really are. And notice that slight rebellious feeling you get, when times are really hard and you're not getting your way? You know for a fact he can help you with everything you want, but when he wont, it seems natural for our carnal mind to get mad and have rebellious thoughts. But of course, we fear him so we try to tread lightly with it. And thats when its time to know that he didnt want you to have whatever it is for a good reason. Then its time to speak to him from the heart, and praise him and seek comfort. Because if left up to our carnal side, and with the enemy in our ear, we'll abandon prayer. Simply because we didn't get our way. We're horrible.

[@jodyel]

@@bigjerm1631Oh boy, and I have been feeling this way for a long time now regarding my personal circumstances and the fact He will not change them when He could in an instant. Whew, need to hear this at this time.

[@joshuawade7]

Best illustration, hands down, of God's Justice and mercy! Thank you Dr. Sproul for teaching me about God's justice posthumously!

[@IamDoogy]

It’s wonderful to see RC when he young, healthy.

[@sheldonbass4238]

Praise God for His Mercy and Grace! "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." "Thank you Heavenly Father for not dealing with us according to what we deserve, but according to your loving kindnesses, amen."

[@sheldonbass4238]

I greatly appreciate how God is using these videos and men like R. C. Sproul to solidify and align my understanding. Though I have a strong theological foundation I still have glaring gaps that today's leading theologians help to fill in. It's a lifelong pursuit.

[@PreetamRuben]

Wow! This is amazing! Can't stop listening to R.C Sproul. What a wonderful teacher of God's Word.

[@JabezChronica]

I cannot count how many times I watched this video, it's just I cannot get rid of watching it again and again, especially when I am spiritually weak.

[@taengooforever1]

[@SashaLipskaia]

Amen, God bless you all. Thank you, Dr. Sproul. Our God is Holy, Holy. Holy. I pray I grow in understanding Him through His grace and love His Holyness more daily.

[@poilkj747]

Absolutely amazing teaching! Praise Yahweh for remebering his people and appointing and empowering shepherds for his flock, even today!

[@matthewherren]

I love RC's illustration regarding presuming on God's mercy starting at 26:18. So needed.

[@doon90tt]

There is an awful and awesome relevance of the Holiness of God in the Christian walk. This man was a teacher I would of liked to have seen and heard in person.

[@chrisbeck4915]

I took the grace and mercy for 60 years until I fell broke my neck. While drunk on vodka. Oh how I wish I wish I had gotten saved many years ago!

[@lesliecrayton6914]

Where are the ordained leaders of God whom teach such as this man taught? As I look back in my past when lost, there was times in my ignorance things just did not sound right. I now thank God through Christ Jesus, allowed me experientially too lived through such things, that now I truly trust Him faithfully but yet still see myself falling short of His Glory. Thank you Father!!!

[@TheWayha]

Wonderful, powerful sermon. Am so grateful to have access to these. Seems through at least the last few centuries we've been blessed with at least 1 to a few wonderful ministers. It's my belief that R.C. was one of them. Thank you Father for allowing me the opportunity to enjoy his sermons even today. Through Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

[@ChacaChaca7]

God is non-justice, but not injustice. Praise God❤

[@JasonHawkins-x7g]

This of all verses struck me dead. For if I sin and know better I should be dead. Thankyou Jesus for your sacrifice because I'm definitely not worthy to do anything but ask for forgiveness

[@BattleDroid191]

God’s holiness is something to be feared, honored and respected- forever.

[@drintx5734]

I love this man.

[@fallenslave6684]

I love all man and woman if not I am not saved.

[@fredslawson7259]

Thank God for teaching that brings clarity to His word. The lay person simply doesn't have the time to study to this depth on their own.

[@johnstewart7025]

[@CivilDefenseEngineer]

Whoa. Americans need to understand this. Not just in theology, but in politics as well.

[@judyplummer5004]

We cannot have a mouth that sings praise to God with a life that openly accuses HIM. It is not our mouth that best reflects our love of God. (It is our life)

[@joeiiiful]

Facts please?????

[@stephanieparsons1056]

So much truth!! We serve a holy sovereign God

[@jayonnaj18]

God is sooo HOLY, PURE and RIGHTEOUS, yet He can be a consuming fire when He must be! We puny little creatures DESERVE the Lake of Fire, yet Father God in His GRACE & MERCY sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ (Who is God Incarnate) to die on the cross and thus be the propitiation for our filthy, rotten sins! Father God poured out His wrath against sin on His innocent SON and paid our sin debt we owed IN FULL!!! THANK YOU, LORD JESUS!!!❤

[@ronnywhite5602]

This should be required listening for every church member. We ARE NOT being fed from most pulpits. Most preachers don't preach it because they don't know it.

If you ask God for justice, you probably won't like the result...something I need to remind myself of more often. Justice will be the Lord's in his good timing.

[@wanjirunganga-gichuhi876]

God does not owe us mercy. Mercy is voluntary. God will have mercy upon whom he desires. God is not unjust and mercy is "non justice" but not injustice. 🤔🙏

[@karlamariselabarth690]

So good, thank you for explaining 😊. I'm learning about the holiness of God and this teaching helps me lot.

[@edwinrivera5377]

When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is left in him, when a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less. CS Lewis

[@F.B.75]

I wish I understood the implications of this sermon earlier in my life. I thought god somehow owes me mercy for my sin and I got casual about my sin. How foolish. Now I know I offended god grieviously. Hebrews 10, 26 got me so scared. But now it's too late. The damage is done and god won't forgive me.

[@D.A.-Espada]

God will forgive. I'd say to take Hebrews 10:26 as a chlanenge that now that you fully understand the sinful nature of man and how insidious it is and how venomous Satan is in his enticements toward sin, you can see how merciful God is and ask Him to be merciful to you and truly direct your life in such a way that you work put your salvation through fear, trembling and love for our God. You have the desire to be saved. Take advantage of it and the time that remains in you while on earth. Much love and encouragement from all the way over here May God bless you and encourage you on the right path

[@judithmargret5972]

I pray that you have called out to God for forgiveness and mercy. He will never turn away someone with a repentant heart. Now instead of looking at ourselves in our weaknesses and sins, we look to Jesus and what He has done to secure our salvation. If we belong to Him, He will never forsake us, or let us go. When we understand this we can rest in His finished work. Blessings I hope you are now walking with your Lord and Saviour and be a living witness to His grace and mercy.

[@timothydodenhoff1068]

Not true, you can be forgiven, throw yourself at his mercy, even now, look only to Christ. His grace is greater than your sin.

The prusumptious sin of Uzzah was this, ladies and gentlemen: he assumed, that his hands, were less poluted then the dirt. There is nothing about the earth that would desecrate the throne of God, the earth was lying there on the ground doing what God had called earth to do: being dirt.

[@onekittyhawk63]

The Holy Spirit, Who is the Spirit of God, through an act of His Will, which we cannot explain, causes one of Mary's ovums to bring forth life; i.e., to conceive. This life, which is Jesus Christ, is born some nine months later. Jesus Christ, therefore, has both a divine nature and a human nature. He is both perfectly divine and perfectly human. He is the God-Man. Some prefer God-man. I capitalized it in recognition that he is the [S]on of man, a title that He preferred using rather than Son of God. A man had to die on the cross, not God. "Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, 'Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me'" (Heb. 10:). It is a misunderstanding that God died for us. No! Jesus (a term associated with His humanity/body) died on the cross. Jesus is his human name. His divine name is unknown at this time (Rev. 19:12). It will be revealed in the future. Yes, He is the Son of God as being the third Person of the Godhead; i.e., the Trinity. It is in this light that God the Father is the Father of the divine nature of Christ at Jesus' conception.
