R.C. Sproul: The Transforming Power of the Gospel

The book of Romans outlines for us what the Apostle Paul calls "the gospel of God." This gospel is not simply about God; it belongs to God. The gospel is God's design. It was not the product of Paul's ingenuity or of any other Apostle or prophet. God alone is the author and goal of the gospel. The same God who spoke the world into existence by the word of His power is at work for the salvation of His people through His gospel. In this session, Dr. R.C. Sproul explains why the gospel of God is both true and transforming.

With his last breaths he preached the Gospel...I thank God for his example..

[@joycestark9705]

Dr. Sproul was one of the greatest theologians I have ever listened too. I have learned so much from him. What a treasure The Lord took home. May more men like him rise and preach and teach the unpolluted, the unadulterated, uncompromising, unchanging, unmovable and unshakable Word of GOD!

[@lukevader5814]

This amazing man of God will preach more truth in one sermon, than many false teachers will preach in a lifetime! We are so Blessed to have been able to hear so many great teachings! To God be all the Glory!

So grateful God introduced me to this man of God this year via KZbin! What a mighty kingdom leader! I'll meet you when I get home sir! Your earthly legacy still has a powerful impact!!!

[@patrickc3419]

Preaching the Word right up to the end, while physically struggling and dying. Now that’s a servant of God.

[@InnerCityMonk]

It's preachers like Sproul that cause me to realize that God's standard is much higher than I can ever imagine. Yet that makes His grace so much greater. We still are charged to value and keep that standard, but His grace and power is sufficient.

Yes even after his passing. I am a newly reformed, recent convert of about a year and a half, and I have been being transformed by the gospel and have begun the process of sanctification unto holiness under RC's good teaching. He is like a modern day Charles spurgeon, in the sense that he is relatable and average in personality traits, and a good example of a man who values the knowledge and the sharing of the Gospel. People say that we should never let praising our teachers supersede our need to worship God, but I do believe that it is entirely appropriate to recognize and acknowledge the Lord's blessing in sending us great teachers. Thank you God for these few laborers in your vineyard. Hallelujah, glory to the Most High, our Lord and King, the Lamb of God, Yeshua Hamashiach. Praise Adonai! Hosanna! Glory to God in the highest.

[@liebieengelbrecht5988]

The souls he had touched even long after he had gone home...even in other countries, and still his words echo worldwide, reaching everywhere through social media like KZbin. He was a true servant of God, I am so grateful to the Lord the He guided me through KZbin to dr.Sproul. My whole life changed. Through his teachings my daughter got born again after 22 years of constant praying. My heart is só full of joy, I want to shout it out loud, for I honor and praise our great holy Lord . To God all the glory!❤❤❤❤

Without His gospel, (repentance, faith, proclamation and action), we are all lost in our sin and rejected by righteousness and condemned to death. But by His Holiness, Righteousness and grace, our Sovereign God He has prepared a way, a path, that leads to life; the gospel of the Holy God. This gospel ignites revival to a dead and dieing church, bringing all glory and honour once again to the Almighty Father, Son and His Holy Spirit. It brings life to His chosen creation so we may glorify and give honour to the mighty God of heaven . Amen

Romans 1:2 "..... set apart for the Gospel of God" The gospel is about God and it is from God. Being God's gospel, no man has the right to alter it in any way. And if this is the only means by which the thrice holy God has chosen to save His people, and if this gospel is God's most intimate revelation of Himself, i shudder to think what will become of the men that preach a diluted, false, man centered gospel. Soli Deo Gloria
