The grace of forgiveness, because God Himself has paid the price, is a Christian distinctive and stands splendidly against our hate-filled, unforgiving world. God's forgiveness gives us a fresh start.
Ravi Zacharias

Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
There is a danger when we give young people only a catalog of dos and don'ts. In these young minds, the gospel is not intellectually credible.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.
Ravi Zacharias

Ravi Zacharias
Image
When you think of it, really there are four fundamental questions of life. Youve asked them, Ive asked them, every thinking person asks them. They boil down to this origin, meaning, morality and destiny. How did I come into being? What brings life meaning? How do I know right from wrong? Where am I headed after I die?
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The denial of an objective moral law, based on the compulsion to deny the existence of God, results ultimately in the denial of evil iteself.
