More quotes by Ravi Zacharias

Image
Christianity is not a political theory. It is not even a cultural theory. It is, at its root, all about changing the heart of each man and woman, boy and girl, so that we begin to think God's thoughts and act in accordance with his character.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Truth is that which affirms propositionally the nature of reality as it is.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
But life's joys are only joys if they can be shared.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You cannot talk about evil without assuming a moral framework.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Truth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of pretended tolerance. Real tolerance is deference to all ideas, not indifference to the truth.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Our sense of wonder is a blessing from God, given so that we would be continually amazed at His beauty and creation.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The world is larger and more beautiful than my little struggle.
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
Image
In churches, we live with the danger of one-way verbal traffic.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We talk so much about one's rights... so little about what is actually right.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Changes in language often reflect the changing values of a culture.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Time isn't just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The first and foremost reality is that suffering and death are not only enemies of life, but a means of reminding us of life's twin realities, love and hate.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
Everyone - pantheist, atheist, skeptic, polytheist - has to answer these questions: 'Where did I come from? What is life's meaning? How do I define right from wrong and what happens to me when I die?' Those are the fulcrum points of our existence.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Having killed God, the atheist is left with no reason for being, no morality to espouse, no meaning to life, and no hope beyond the grave.
