Quote

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!

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
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
Redemption is prior to righteousness. You cannot be righteous until you are first redeemed.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
You'll never get to a person's soul until you understand their hurts.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
Bahaism gives you a pluralistic view, and a lot of aspects of Hinduism give you a moral framework with no accountability other than the karmic system. There's no linear movement or point of accountability toward God.
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
Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
I am thoroughly convinced that when the last chapter of humanity is written, we will find that the implications of atheism, i.e., living without God, if consistently carried through, will have made life plainly unlivable within the limits of reason or even common sense
Ravi Zacharias
Image
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
Image
We do our universities a disservice when we brand them as a lost cause. There are some frightfully honest students out there, and when their questions are respectfully dealt with, many admit their vulnerability.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
History is a grim reminder of what happens to those who think they have no law but themselves.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Isn't it ironic that after 70 years Russia wants God back while we are trying to kick him out?
Ravi Zacharias

Beginning well is a momentary thing finishing well is a lifelong thing
Ravi Zacharias
Image
My longings, my hopes, my dreams, and my every effort has been to live for Him who rescued me, to study for Him who gave me this mind, to serve Him who fashioned my will, and to speak for Him who gave me a voice.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.
Ravi Zacharias
Image
Atheism is an exercise in intellectual contempt.
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
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

The church should provide a setting in which people can express their questions.
