At the center of the Christian tradition since the first church have been a number who insist that history is not tragic, hell is not forever, and love, in the end, wins and all will be reconciled to God.

More quotes by Rob Bell
For Jesus, heaven and hell were present realities. Ways of living we can enter into here and now. He talked very little of the life beyond this one.
Rob Bell
My interest is in what's true, where is the life, where is the heart and what inspires.
Rob Bell
Suffering is traumatic and awful and we get angry and we shake our fists at the heavens and we vent and rage and weep. But in the process we discover a new tomorrow, one we never would have imagined otherwise.
Rob Bell
Times change. God doesn’t, but times do. We learn and grow, and the world around us shifts, and the Christian faith is alive only when it is listening, morphing, innovating, letting go of whatever has gotten in the way of Jesus and embracing whatever will help us be more and more the people God wants us to be.
Rob Bell
That breath that you just took, that's a gift!
Rob Bell
To elevate abstract doctrines and dogmas over living, breathing, embodied experiences of God's love and grace, then, is going the wrong direction. It's taking flesh and turning it back into words.
Rob Bell
When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.
Rob Bell
To be honest with you, I am passionate about all the people out there who want to know Jesus, they want to know God, and they are sick of a system that is hung up on a bunch of things that have nothing to do with the love of God.
Rob Bell
That may sound a big vague, but what has struck me in city after city is that despite our differences and diversity, there's a common humanity we all share. In many ways we're all searching and longing for the same things.
Rob Bell
What does happen constantly with all kinds of people I meet is they say I had this encounter with Jesus, can you help me understand it... The labels, more than ever, simply aren't big enough to contain what the cosmic Christ is up to in the world.
Rob Bell
You can be living in a big house, driving a nice car, going on exotic vacations and still be empty inside, crippled with fear and dread.
Rob Bell
The hardness of the human heart makes no sense.
Rob Bell
When the lab rats hear the bell ringing, they freeze. That's what fear does to you - fear stops you dead in your tracks. Fear can keep you from harm, but fear can also rob you of your potential. Fear can rob you of an experience. Fear can rob you of happiness. Fear can rob you of real life... Darkness has a way of scaring us.
Rob Bell
Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.
Rob Bell
The historical orthodox Christian faith is extremely wide and diverse.
Rob Bell
There's way too much wonder and mystery all around us to not stay open to more that's going on here. You can wake up, and sense and feel and taste and hear a whole world right here within this one, right here in this breath you're about to take.
Rob Bell
If your faith is threatened by something that's true, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with, was it?
Rob Bell
Look at the size of the universe and look at what we're discovering about string theory. There's a wide-eyed sense of we're just getting started here.
Rob Bell
The world is desperately in need of people who will break themselves open and pour themselves out for the reconciliation of all things- that's what the world needs.
Rob Bell
The cross is Gods way of taking away all of our accusations, excuses, and arguments.
