More quotes by Timothy Keller
Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.
Timothy Keller
People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.
Timothy Keller
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
To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.
Timothy Keller
All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
Timothy Keller
Covenant community is like air. We don't miss it until we need it.
Timothy Keller
The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
Timothy Keller
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
The goal of prayer is not just the sharing of our ideas, but also of ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Religion says earn your life. Secular society says create your life. Jesus says, 'My life for your life.
Timothy Keller
When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
Timothy Keller
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Timothy Keller
Accepted in Christ, we now run the race 'for the joy that is set before us' rather than 'for fear that comes behind us'.
Timothy Keller
To the degree you experience God's love towards you - seeing you as beautiful and radiant - to that degree sex won't ruin your life.
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
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
All life-changing love is inconvenient.
Timothy Keller
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.
