Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.

At the end of history the whole earth has become the Garden of God again. Death and decay and suffering are gone. . . . Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living 'east of Eden,' always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will meet us and embrace us, and we will be brought into the feast.

To say doctrine doesn't matter, only how you live matters, is itself a doctrine. It's the doctrine of salvation by works.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.
Timothy Keller
Image
Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
Timothy Keller
Image
The most liberating act of free, unconditional grace demands that the recipient give up control of his or her life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.
