Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
Timothy Keller

The observer of beauty always receives a passion to share the beauty with others.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.
