The Narrow Way (Luke

- Few ideas are more loathsome in an age of political correctness than the claim that there is only one way to God. Yet this is the clear teaching of Scripture. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul continues his exposition of the gospel of Luke by examining Jesus’ words about the narrow way of salvation.
This sermon was preached by R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Fla. Hear more from his series in the gospel of Luke: • The Gospel of Luke: Se...

Dr Sproul was, by far, the best expository teacher of his generation. I thank God (Christ) for allowing me to hear and learn from his biblical teachings of God's Word.
@@1Whipperin I believe he did. 🙂
@@1Whipperin Do you? Be gone, insufferable slanderer. The man is not even alive on this earth anymore to speak for himself in defense! How vile. Understand one day you will give account for the slander & accusations you relentlessly spew here. Know that! Repent, while He still grants you breath to do so!
Narrow , yes CHRIST JESUS Only ✝️🙏🏻
@Bill Baehr Spurgeon smoked too. You have a problem with that?
@Bill Baehr you seem to think it wasn't. Otherwise, you wouldn't be worried about it.
One thing that I can say about "humility," it is in very short supply in this modern world.
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
“Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right” Acts 10: 34
“All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.””
Acts 10:43
If we believe, we MUST keep his commandments.
@@SirAntBo “Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22

RC absolutely the best theologian of this generation🥰

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14
How I loved this man’s teaching. God used it to change my life as a saved arminian believer 25 years ago to a doctrines of grace loving believer.
The Holy Spirit showed me through RC Sproul and scripture that all credit goes to God for saving my rebellious sinful soul, how could a dead sinner choose anything? I thought I made the right choice but later realized from scripture that that would give me something to boast about and would be wrong.
The Lord said he will see me through to the end Jude v24 so I rest in my eternal security as well, all glory and praise to God! ❤️✝️
I'm so thankful for these wonderful teachings from Sproul. The wisdom and insite God gave to him has been used greatly to teach, encourage, challenge and change me for His glory.
Thanks, all of you at Ligonier for making these archive teachings available. God bless you all. The soundness of your theology and faithfulness to God's Word is evident in the many sermons I have heard from your TH-cam channel and website. So grateful for how the Lord has used Ligonier in my life. 😊
God’s sovereignty
Man’s responsibility
I agree Dr. Sproul was, no doubt, one of the Greats of the 20th Century. I am so grateful for the recorded messages we can continue to learn from.
What a teaching......are you numbered among the few??? Please have mercy upon me Lord Jesus....
A few will enter the narrow gate and find eternal life. For Jesus is the Narrow path and it's gate keeper. Brothers and sisters;Let us seek the narrow gate because the wide gate and path is easy and the way of destruction.
I know of no one who could articulate and explain such difficult and deep truths to make them understandable to the common man as this man had the ability to. I am SO glad I had/have the privilege of learning from him
The way may be narrow as the bible says. But it seems to me that once you have found the way, it is wide open. I love it.
Miss titled, should be Luke 13, 22-35
I contacted Ligonier, so hopefully someone will see my message and fix the issue. 😊
I thank God for the blood ofJesus which save from hell
Look to Jesus our savior
Ty. 🙏 Amen!. 🙏

At the cross
Hey everyone!! I contacted Ligonier about the mis-uploaded sermons, so hopefully they'll get straightened out. I'm going to listen to this anyway, because I was looking forward to the rest of Chapter 13 😊
Thank you!
It's sobering and terrifying to realize from scripture that most of mankind is going to hell. Satan's plan is to keep us blinded to that fact in order that we, as Christisns, will spend less time rescuing the perishing. I'd say that satan is working his plan quite well, to the periels to the unsaved world. I memorized this scripture (Matt 7: 13-14) years ago. I quote it almost daily to remind myself that the world's idea of almost everyone is going to heaven is not supported by Christ's own words. It takes my breath away to realize that so many people are unaware of their lost condition and like to argue that "their God" is a God of love and their relationship with Him is good. How deceived they are. Only Holy Spirit can convince them otherwise, but they must be open to receive the promptings of Holy Spirit.
Job 35:12 KJV
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

Thou fool
Jesus Christ is the only name by which man is saved
What about Matthew 5:22
@@alexwilson3133 what does it say
@@jessyjonas4988 “But I say onto you, that who anyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire
Wrong verse reference in the title. It should be Luke 13:22-35.
True.
They fixed it🙌🏾
This is incorrectly titled, this message is the one posted on the Ligonier ministries app last week, it was the case last week also….
Hey there, Carly!! I sent them a detailed message about this, so hopefully they'll see it and send it to the right person there 😊
Matthew 22:14 For many are called. But few are chosen.
Being open to understand. Why does he call if he has already not chosen one?
A question. Why does he say he doesn’t them where they are from when he if he is omnipresent.
Even though he already said.
Can the gates of salvation be closed forever to a Christian who has fallen away but is still alive?
A Christians can fall into sin. Even deep sin. But Romans 8:1 tells us that "therefore there is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". So what happens to those in Jesus who fall into sin? Hebrews 12:6-7 tells us that God chastens every son whom He recieveth. You are no longer condemned, but God WILL correct His children and bring them back to repentance and on the path of holiness and obedience. It's out of love. Just like earthly parents punish their children when they misbehave. So if you fall into sin, and God chastens you, rejoice in it, because you KNOW you are His.
@@mrr7870 Thank you. But I have lost my salvation. I did not resist the temptation 23 years ago and did not get up again unfortunately. I live in deliberate disobedience. I have been trying to return for the last 3 years, but I cannot, because my heart has become evil . I can't regret what I did. Because of me, my relatives also perish because they do not know Jesus.
I want to return to God and get rid of my evil heart.
@@artursp7168 continue to seek the lord Jesus. The devil will try to convince you that you are lost for good, so why seek god any further, but our lord is much stronger and only with him can you overcome your sinful nature. Without him will eventually deliberately turn to evil and lawlessness. I will pray for you
@@chrismoreno2535 Thank You very much!
@@artursp7168 Please read the parable of the prodigal son. I was a prodigal as well, but lets remember that one cannot "stop" becoming a Christian.
Since we fell away when we were younger, it's proof that we never were. And as long as we are here on this Earth, our God calls us to repent and believe in His son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because he let all of them be born
No man Has ever spoken like this man. WHY CANNOT WE SEE!. Because our Sin. Exodus chapter 20. We deserve death and Jesus came to take upon Himself ,The Eternal CREATOR , TRIUNE GOD is required to demand justice. He is Holy. We are deserving of death, Eternal death. ISAIAH CHAPTER 6. Jesus The Christ comes to satisfy The Justice Of Our CREATOR GOD!. The CREATOR of this vast UNIVERSE. Oh! Repent and BELIEVE the Gospel. Why would you choose Eternal DAMNATION for exchange of your own soul. Read the SCRIPTURES. Once you are there, HOLY, HELL. there is no coming back, no second chance, no do overs, Repent and BELIEVE in Jesus CHRIST. This is mysterious and my cry to those who read this. This is simply not a game. Our CREATOR GOD demands JUSTICE and Absolute Holiness. JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, GOD MANIFEST IN FLESH. painfully paid for our sorrows we deserve. But we are willing to say , I will continue downward, and I will continue downward. Your lying to yourself and great horror awaiting you. GOD PLAYS FOR KEEPS.!!. Exodus chapter 20, looking at the Ten Comandments, look at your conscience. If it condemns you, you someone to to rescue you from His Holiness and His DAMNATION against our constant Treasonous act of sin. We are so desperate of our need, we simply, don't even understand, or even think, ot even look into the matter. Please don't die. Your own Willful sin demonstrate you don't believe and belong to Him¹.
I don't know who you are.... But that is only because you don't know Jesus.
Can't frighten anyone into salvation
I'm sure you'd agree that warning of Hell and the reality of eternal damnation for the unrepentant sinner is not "frightening anyone into salvation".
That's the Gospel, plain and simple. That Jesus died to save sinners from the eternal wrath of God for their sin and those who reject Him, even those who pretend to know Him, will be cast out and be in eternal torment.
I don't want to misread your comment's intention so, would you mind explaining what you meant?
Go argue with Jesus. He is the one who warned of Hell more than anyone else in the Bible. (If you'd bothered to listen to this, you would know that.)
I for one wasted a large part of my life, trying to persuade people that I love to beg God for mercy and forgiveness and a salvation. I have used every tool possible to no avail. I now see that I was a fool. You can read the word of God to them, and that’s it. It’s 100% up to God. May God forgive me for being so arrogant to think that I could persuade somebody in the following Jesus. Give all the glory to Jesus the son of the living God for the grace that he has bestowed on me in particular my salvation. Praise God. this truly is a sad world full of lost people. All of the tears of the world could not save even one soul. If the tears of Jesus himself failed to change, a single heart, how arrogant of me to believe my tears could change a single heart.
@@bobbates7421 Beautifully said Bob🙏 So many scriptures say God does the saving to give a people to Christ as a gift Eph 2. We were dead in trespasses and who made us alive in Christ? He did. We share the gospel because God uses us as his means to reach his chosen. We don’t know who they are but what freedom to know it’s not my eloquent words that save or even my inept attempts but it’s his regenerating power through the Holy Spirit.
Jude v 24 is one of my favorite verses, we’re saved and God will preserve us to the end.🙏
@ValentineKosyak RC Sproul knew he had no power to frighten or talk anyone into salvation. But he also knew God told us to preach the whole gospel, the bad news and the good news. I suggest you watch some more of his teachings so you know more about him. The Holiness of God book and video series by RC was famous and opened many peoples eyes to God ‘s Majestic and Sovereign Holiness. Peace🙏
