R. C. Sproul

Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.

R. C. Sproul

R. C. Sproul

We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.
