Revival occurs as a group of people who, on the whole, think they already know the gospel discover they do not really or fully know it, and by embracing the gospel they cross over into living faith.

More quotes by 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
If we pick out which parts of the Bible we dislike, we actually have a god we've created. How can that god ever call you out on anything?
Timothy Keller
We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.
Timothy Keller
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
Timothy Keller
Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
Timothy Keller
Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
Timothy Keller
Marriage does not so much bring you into confrontation with your spouse as confront you with yourself.
Timothy Keller
Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.
Timothy Keller
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
The Bible says that our real problem is that every one of us is building our identity on something besides Jesus.
Timothy Keller
When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.
Timothy Keller
A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.
Timothy Keller
The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Faith in God's promises means not always following the expected, rational path.
Timothy Keller
You are under-qualified for the job of God.
Timothy Keller
It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions is right.
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
Because creation was made in the image of a God who is equally one and many, the human race will finally be reunited and our racial and cultural diversity will remain intact in the renewed world. The human race finally lives together in peace and interdependence. Glory to God in the highest goes with peace on earth.
Timothy Keller
Friendship is a deep oneness that develops when two people, speaking the truth in love to one another, journey together to the same horizon.
