Coram Deo
R.C. Sproul often reminded us that Christians live coram Deo, “before the face of God.” We’ve created a new video to reach more people with this truth.
Many people today are asking questions about their identity and purpose. “Who am I? What is my life all about?” To bring clarity in a time of confusion, Dr. Sproul taught that the “big idea” of the Christian life is the Latin phrase coram Deo. It means we are to live our whole lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and to the glory of God.
The two-minute coram Deo video is available in seven languages. Please watch and share it widely so more people can discover what it means to be a Christian—saved by God’s grace to live humbly under His authority and joyfully for His glory. Simply point people to Ligonier.org/coramDeo to help others know who God is and who they are.
