Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion operates on the principle 'I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.' But the operating principle of the gospel is 'I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.'

God loves you just because He loves you.

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

The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
Timothy Keller
Image
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.

What greater value could you possibly have than to be delighted in and sacrificed for by the Maker of the universe.
Timothy Keller
Image
The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
Timothy Keller
Image
When you listen and read one thinker, you become a clone… two thinkers, you become confused… ten thinkers, you’ll begin developing your own voice… two or three hundred thinkers, you become wise and develop your voice.
Timothy Keller
Image
We can only grasp the gospel's sweetness if we first grapple with its offense- you can't save yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our prayers should arise out of immersion in the Scripture. [We] speak only to the degree we are spoken to.
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.
Timothy Keller
Image
To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

Prayer gives us relief from the melancholy burden of self-absorption .

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin.
