More quotes by Timothy Keller
Christians don't believe that goodness gets you to heaven. Christians believe it's exhausting to rely on your own goodness to please God.
Timothy Keller
Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.
Timothy Keller
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Cities have more “image of God” per square inch than anywhere else, and so we must not idealize the country as somehow a more spiritual place than the city.
Timothy Keller
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
Christians should not be optimists we know too much about sin. We should also not be pessimists, for we know the living God.
Timothy Keller
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
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.
Timothy Keller
I hate the moment when suddenly my anger turns into tears
Timothy Keller
Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy Keller
Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly.
Timothy Keller
The human heart is an idol factory that takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them.
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
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
God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.
Timothy Keller
Christians necessarily believe we depend on God for everything-a prayerless Christian, then, is a contradiction in terms.
Timothy Keller
Happiness is a by-product of wanting something more than happiness-to be rightly related to God and our neighbor.
Timothy Keller
How does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.
Timothy Keller
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
Whatever you base your life on--you have to live up to that. Jesus is the one Lord you can live for who already died for you.
