Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.

Jesus is the ultimate Job, the only truly innocent sufferer.
Timothy Keller
Image
What you do today is shaped by what you believe about tomorrow.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are free to fight sin, and free to win but we must still fight.
Timothy Keller
Image
While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
Timothy Keller
Image
The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we have not seen our sin and sought radical forgiveness from God, we will be unable to forgive and to seek the good of those who have wronged us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
Timothy Keller
Image
Work is taking the raw material of creation and developing it for the sake of others.
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you need something in addition to God to make you happy, that is your true King.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.
Timothy Keller
Image
If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.
Timothy Keller
Image
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
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?

One of the most frequent responses I get from non-Christian readers is: 'I'm not sure I agree with all this, but I must say this is the first book I've read by a Christian that didn't treat me like I was an idiot.'
