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
After creation God said, 'It is finished'-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, 'It is finished'-and we can rest.

The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.
Timothy Keller
Image
To take a person out of slavery takes an instant. To take slavery out of a person takes a process.
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.

Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
Timothy Keller

A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?

In every other religion the indicative flows from the imperative. Which means, ‘because I do, therefore I am... because I do this, therefore I’m a child of God.’ But only in Christianity does the imperative flow from the indicative. ‘Because I am in Christ all these things, therefore I obey.’ Exactly the opposite.

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.

It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions is right.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
Timothy Keller
Image
The issue on which everything hangs is not whether you like His teaching but if He ‪rose from the dead.
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
The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.
Timothy Keller

Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.

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.

Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.

Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.
Timothy Keller

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

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.
