You become like what you worship. When you gaze in awe, admiration, and wonder at something or someone, you begin to take on something of the character of the object of your worship.
N. T. Wright
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone, though one is justified by faith alone, the faith which justifies is never in fact alone.

I have always taken the view that sometimes war may be justified, as police action can be justified, to protect the weak and vulnerable (a major preoccupation in scripture). But this is an old and difficult question and very wise people take different views.

In the New Testament outside the Gospels and the beginning of Acts, again and again, the fact of Jesus’ resurrection is closely linked to our own ultimate resurrection, which isn’t life after death – it’s life after life after death.
N. T. Wright
The New Testament picks up from the Old the theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights.
N. T. Wright
Swords don't glorify the creator-God. Love does. Self-giving love, best of all.
N. T. Wright
To pray 'your kingdom come' at Jesus' bidding meant to align oneself with his kingdom movement.
N. T. Wright
God is the Creator God, he doesn't want to say, Okay, creation was very good, but I'm scrapping it. He wants to say, Creation is so good that I'm going to rescue it.
N. T. Wright
One of the reasons we do history, in fact, is because it acts as a brake, a control, on our otherwise unbridled enthusiasm for our own ideas.
N. T. Wright
We have to train ourselves to use words accurately. And there's so much loose Christian talk, for which I've no doubt been as guilty as any.
N. T. Wright
Christ's resurrection doesn't mean escaping from the world it means mission to the world based on Jesus's lordship over the world.
N. T. Wright
The rule of love, I say again, is not an optional extra. It is the very essence of what we [Christians] are about
N. T. Wright
I grew up in a church-going family, a very sort of ordinary, middle-of-the-road Anglican family where nobody really talked about personal Christian experience. It was just sort of assumed like an awful lot of things in the 1950's were just sort of taken for granted.
N. T. Wright
I have never been to India and I am not a specialist on Indian culture, and I would not wish to be heard to be taking swipes at a culture which I've never experienced and where I've never lived.

For now we see the beauty of God through a glass, darkly, but then face to face now we appreciate only in part, but then we shall affirm and appreciate God, even as the living God has affirmed and appreciated us. So now our tasks are worship, mission, and management, these three but the greatest of these is worship.
N. T. Wright
