We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's reckless grace is our greatest hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
The issue on which everything hangs is not whether you like His teaching but if He ‪rose from the dead.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Bible says that our real problem is that every one of us is building our identity on something besides Jesus.
Timothy Keller
Image
Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin.
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
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
Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.
Timothy Keller

True citizens of the heavenly city are the best residents of the earthly city.
Timothy Keller

God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.
Timothy Keller

Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you didn't earn your salvation how are you going to un-earn it?
Timothy Keller
Image
Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?
Timothy Keller
Image
You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
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
Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
The resurrection makes Christianity the most irritating religion on the face of the earth.
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.
