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.

The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.

Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
Timothy Keller

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

Timothy Keller

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

Jesus smashed two of the rich young ruler's assumptions: Christianity is something you can ADD and something you can DO.

The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but What has Jesus done for you?
Timothy Keller
Image
Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
Timothy Keller
Image
God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.
Timothy Keller

I am a Christian resident of New York City. I simply read things the other Manhattanites read (NY Times, New Yorker magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many of the books they read) plus all my Christian reading. I don't do anything special to understand skeptics. I also talk to a lot of skeptics and read things they point to.

The issue on which everything hangs is not whether you like His teaching but if He ‪rose from the dead.
