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
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religious people find God useful. Gospel people find him beautiful.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
Timothy Keller

All life-changing love is inconvenient.
Timothy Keller
Image
Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.
Timothy Keller
Image
You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.
Timothy Keller
Image
When pain and suffering come upon us, we finally see not only that we are not in control of our lives but that we never were.
Timothy Keller
Image
If God is not at the center of your life, something else is.
Timothy Keller
Image
Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.
Timothy Keller
Image
To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.
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
No one is too bad for Jesus. A lot of people think they are too good for Jesus.
