Quote

More quotes by Ravi Zacharias

Image
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
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
I thank the Lord that, even though things were so wrong in my life here, I finally was brought to the realization of what all those struggles were about. There are some wonderful things from your painful past, things with a beauty you may not have realized at the time.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.
Ravi Zacharias

I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Truth has been relegated to subjectivity beauty has been subjugated to the beholder and as millions are idiotized night after night, a global commune has been constructed with the arts enjoying a totalitarian rule.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
In naturalism, man is actually very insignificant, but arrogates to himself stupendous power. In Christianity, man is actually the apex of created significance, but is called to see it in abject humility.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The person who demands a sign and at the same time has already determined that anything that cannot be explained scientifically is meaningless is not merely stacking the deck he is losing at his own game.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
At the universities I visit, the exclusivity of Christ is challenged in every open forum - How can you possibly talk about one God or one way when there are so many good options?
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Truth is not only a matter of offense, in that it makes certain assertions. It is also a matter of defense in that it must be able to make a cogent and sensible response to the counterpoints that are raised.
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.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
The four absolutes we all have in our minds: love, justice, evil, and forgiveness.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
When I do things my way, I exhaust pleasure very quickly. It is not that Christianity has failed to teach me how to delight in God's presence it is that I have failed by seeking pleasure through godless ways or by resisting God's provision for me because it is not what I want.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Most of the intellectual elite of the USA completely disavow the idea of absolute truth.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
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
In today's society, looking good and feeling good often trumps doing good and being good. And some people don't know the difference anymore.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Jesus came to save souls in his fathers name with love and only love that is why he turned up as a man, so why can't we see his real message?
Ravi Zacharias
Image
God put enough into the world to make faith in Him a reasonable thing. But He left enough out to make it impossible to live by reason alone.
Ravi Zacharias
