The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
Timothy Keller
Image
The irreligious don't repent at all and the religious only repent of sins. But Christians repent of their wrongfully placed righteousness.
Timothy Keller
Image
What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.
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
Freedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Only if you are part of a community of believers seeking to resemble, serve, and love Jesus will you ever get to know him and grow into his likeness.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.

The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.
Timothy Keller
Image
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.
Timothy Keller
Image
The observer of beauty always receives a passion to share the beauty with others.
Timothy Keller
Image
Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the only Lord who, if you receive him, will fulfill you completely, and, if you fail him, will forgive you eternally.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our pursuits and relationships, because we are already redeemed. We stop trying to make others into saviors, because we have a Savior.
Timothy Keller
Image
We tend to see God as a means through which we get things to make us happy. For most of us, He has not become our happiness.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver.

If you come to recognize the beliefs on which your doubts about Christianity are based, and if you seek as much proof for those beliefs as you seek from Christians for theirs - you will discover that your doubts are not as solid as they first appeared.
