More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
The older we become, the more difficult it is to fill our hearts with wonder. Only God is big enough to keep filling us with wonder.
Ravi Zacharias
The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man. Is that these moralists came to make bad people good. Jesus came to make dead people live!
Ravi Zacharias
Who is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
The purpose of prayer and of God's call in your life isn't to make you number one in the world's eyes but to make Him number one in your life.
Ravi Zacharias
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.
Ravi Zacharias
You see misery, you see misfortune, you see pain, you see suffering. It's all part of the fatalistic way of looking at life.
Ravi Zacharias
We cannot discuss human rights, when we are denying people the right to live.
Ravi Zacharias
When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.
Ravi Zacharias
In Christian engagement, the goal is to win the person who is of the other worldview - not to destroy the person.
Ravi Zacharias
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
The cross stands as a mystery because it is foreign to everything we exalt- self over principle, power over meekness, the quick fix over the long haul, cover-up over confession, escapism over confrontation, conform over sacrifice, feeling over commitment, legality over justice, the body over the spirit, anger over forgiveness, man over God.
Ravi Zacharias
Conviction is not merely an opinion. It is something rooted so deeply in the conscience that to change a conviction would be to change the very essence of who you are.
Ravi Zacharias
Beginning well is a momentary thing finishing well is a lifelong thing
Ravi Zacharias
The use or abuse of Christianity in contradiction to the very message of the gospel reveals not the gospel for what it is, but the heart of man. That is why atheism is so bankrupt as a view of life, for it miserably fails to deal with the human condition as it really is.
Ravi Zacharias
One of the most staggering truths of the Scriptures is to understand that we do not earn our way to heaven. ...works have a place--but as a demonstration of having received God's forgiveness, not as a badge of merit of having earned it.
Ravi Zacharias
What is right has to win the day over what we may see as rights.
Ravi Zacharias
Today, sensitivities are at an all-time high - and rightfully so. Tolerance of different races and religions have been lacking over the years, but pluralism has given way to relativism.
Ravi Zacharias
If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.
Ravi Zacharias
My premise is that the popular aphorism that 'all religions are fundamentally the same and only superficially different' simply is not true. It is more correct to say that all religions are, at best, superficially similar but fundamentally different.
Ravi Zacharias
Nothing, absolutely nothing, has a more direct bearing on the moral choices made by individuals or the purposes pursued by society than belief or disbelief in God.
