If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.

Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope.
Timothy Keller

If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.

Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.

Christmas is telling you that you could never get to heaven on your own. God had to come to you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our prayers should arise out of immersion in the Scripture. [We] speak only to the degree we are spoken to.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.
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.

I am going to judge my circumstances by Jesus’ love, not Jesus’ love by my circumstances.

Religion says, 'I obey therefore I am accepted.' Christianity says, 'I'm accepted, therefore I obey.
