People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.
Timothy Keller
Image
At the end of history the whole earth has become the Garden of God again. Death and decay and suffering are gone. . . . Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living 'east of Eden,' always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will meet us and embrace us, and we will be brought into the feast.

Image
Like a surgeon, friends cut you in order to heal you.
Timothy Keller
Image
If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image
To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.
Timothy Keller
Image
The main problem in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the deep implications of the gospel, we have not 'used' the gospel in and on all parts of our life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Let us preach grace till humility just starts to grow in us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the only Lord who, if you receive him, will fulfill you completely, and, if you fail him, will forgive you eternally.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every treasure on this earth says, 'Give your life to purchase me.' Jesus says 'I'm the one treasure who died to purchase you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
Fear, logic, and tradition are not going to make you live a good life when no one is looking.
Timothy Keller
Image
Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians necessarily believe we depend on God for everything-a prayerless Christian, then, is a contradiction in terms.
Timothy Keller
Image
I am God and I am coming to find you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasn’t already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Even if our own troubles are great, we should still serve. Jesus washed His disciples feet on the way to the cross.
