Download or read book Classic Teachings on the Nature of God written by R. C Sproul and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. C. Sproul has committed his life to clearly communicating deep, practical truths from God's Word to students and laypeople. His lucid teaching style brings clarity to the most difficult--and often contentious--biblical and theological questions. Gathered here in one volume are three of his best-selling books--over $40 worth of reading at a great low price. From Rudolf Otto's" mysterium tremendum" to Martin Luther's "insanity"and Jonathan Edwards's fiery sermons, Sproul's classic "The Holiness of God"illuminates history and Scripture to help readers understand--and live with--the tension that exists between God's terrifying holiness and his inexplicable grace. In "Chosen by God," Sproul tackles the divisive subject of predestination, and discusses God's sovereignty and the problem of evil, human freedom, and the task of evangelism. He explains that there is a mystery in God's ways but not contradiction; and paints a picture of a loving--not spiteful or whimsical--God who provides redemption for radically corrupt people."Pleasing God" explores the topic of sanctification--how we satisfy God by pursuing righteousness. Sproul examines the constant battle Christians wage against sin--pride, slothfulness, dishonesty. He reveals how many Christians have tragically abandoned the struggle, but that God delights in those who press on. Although Sproul brings a Reformed background and approach to topics, his work is not just for Calvinists but for all Christians who want to understand and build on the foundations of their faith.

Book excerpt: As our Father God desires that we please Him in all our ways - in our words, actions, character, lifestyle, relationships, etc. What we do brings pleasure or displeasure to God. Pleasing God is the main purpose of our existence. It must be our highest priority. Pleasing God is not difficult, because He gives us everything we need to please Him. Sometimes, our problem is fear of man or trying to please people.We cannot please God in the flesh. We must first accept Jesus Christ into our life and be born again. Once you are in the kingdom of God, pleasing Him is inevitable. You will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a lifethat is pleasing to God. Pleasing God is about living by God's standards, not by the world's standards. It is a matter of obeying God's Word and living by faith. It is about seeking to know Him and hating what He hates. The life that pleases God also usually pleases men and women. It is a life that fears God. It means following the example of the humility of Christ. It means operating in God's kind of love and wisdom to succeed in life. God promises to reward those who please Him.
