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

Like a baby learning language, we learn how to communicate with God by listening to His words first.

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.

Marriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole. If your marriage is strong, even if all the circumstances in your life around you are filled with trouble and weakness, it won't matter. You will be able to move out into the world in strength.

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.

God will only give you what you would have asked for if you knew everything he knows
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.

Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.

Jesus's teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the Bible-believing , religious people of his day.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
We deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.
Timothy Keller

Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.

Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.
