More quotes by Ravi Zacharias
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
What does it mean to be human? It means we are created in the image of God for the glorious reality of being in permanent fellowship with Him.
Ravi Zacharias
Love is hard work. It is the hardest work I know of, work from which you are never entitled to take a vacation.
Ravi Zacharias
Evil is a violation of purpose, the purpose of your creator and mine.
Ravi Zacharias
We need to learn how to handle critique and how to address an antagonist.
Ravi Zacharias
Most of the intellectual elite of the USA completely disavow the idea of absolute truth.
Ravi Zacharias
My premise is that the popular aphorism that 'all religions are fundamentally the same and only superficially different' simply is not true. It is more correct to say that all religions are, at best, superficially similar but fundamentally different.
Ravi Zacharias
An expenditure of words without income of ideas will lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Ravi Zacharias
Isn't it ironic that after 70 years Russia wants God back while we are trying to kick him out?
Ravi Zacharias
Truth by definition excludes.
Ravi Zacharias
We talk so much about one's rights... so little about what is actually right.
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
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
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!
Ravi Zacharias
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
In his book Modern Times, the historian Paul Johnson referred to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini as the three devils of the twentieth century. Interestingly, Nietzshean dogma influenced each of them.
Ravi Zacharias
There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.
Ravi Zacharias
Success is more difficult to handle than failure.
Ravi Zacharias
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
History is a grim reminder of what happens to those who think they have no law but themselves.
Ravi Zacharias
