More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
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
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
If you can make any religion look idiotic, chances are you haven't understood that religion.
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
Every time you get on your knees and pray to God, 'Holy' keeps the respect and reverence while 'Father' brings Him close & intimate.
Ravi Zacharias
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
Ravi Zacharias
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.
Ravi Zacharias
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
Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life.
Ravi Zacharias
The four absolutes we all have in our minds: love, justice, evil, and forgiveness.
Ravi Zacharias
I do not believe that one can earnestly seek and find the priceless treasure of God's call without a devout prayer life. That is where God speaks.
Ravi Zacharias
Redemption is prior to righteousness. You cannot be righteous until you are first redeemed.
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
How have we come to a place in society where millions of babies can be slaughtered and disposed of in the name of progress? Shocking but real.
Ravi Zacharias
What you applaud you encourage, but beware what you celebrate.
Ravi Zacharias
When you find your definitions in God, you find the very purpose for which you were created. Put your hand into God's hand, know His absolutes, demonstrate His love, present His truth, and the message of redemption and transformation will take hold.
Ravi Zacharias
In churches, we live with the danger of one-way verbal traffic.
Ravi Zacharias
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
Atheism is an exercise in intellectual contempt.
Ravi Zacharias
Success is more difficult to handle than failure.
