Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.
Timothy Keller
Image
How could you possibly know that no religion can see the whole truth unless you yourself have the superior, comprehensive knowledge of spiritual reality you just claimed non of the religions have?
Timothy Keller

Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'

When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.
Timothy Keller

We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Image
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

Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
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
Image
Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer turns theology into experience.
Timothy Keller
Image
Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel destroys pride because it tells us we are so lost that Jesus had to die for us.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller
Image
No one is too bad for Jesus. A lot of people think they are too good for Jesus.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.

Religion says earn your life. Secular society says create your life. Jesus says, 'My life for your life.
