Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.

More quotes by Timothy Keller
If this world was made by a triune God, relationships of love are what life is really all about.
Timothy Keller
There is a direct relationship between a person's grasp and experience of God's grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.
Timothy Keller
Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.
Timothy Keller
We are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
Timothy Keller
There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.
Timothy Keller
Jesus' purpose is not to warm our hearts but to shatter our categories.
Timothy Keller
The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.
Timothy Keller
Our prayers should arise out of immersion in the Scripture. [We] speak only to the degree we are spoken to.
Timothy Keller
In every other religion the indicative flows from the imperative. Which means, ‘because I do, therefore I am... because I do this, therefore I’m a child of God.’ But only in Christianity does the imperative flow from the indicative. ‘Because I am in Christ all these things, therefore I obey.’ Exactly the opposite.
Timothy Keller
The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.
Timothy Keller
We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry
Timothy Keller
Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
Timothy Keller
Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.
Timothy Keller
Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.
Timothy Keller
The rich brother needs to let the gospel humble him while the poor brother needs to let the gospel affirm him.
Timothy Keller
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
Timothy Keller
Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.
Timothy Keller
Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller
Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.
