The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.
Timothy Keller
Image
God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.
Timothy Keller
Image
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is the stripping of our hope in finite things, therefore we do not put our ultimate hope in anything finite.
Timothy Keller
Image
The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.
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
At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
One of the signs that you may not grasp the unique, radical nature of the gospel is that you are certain that you do.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is not just the “ABCs” but the “A-to-Z” of the Christian life.
Timothy Keller
Image
We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry
Timothy Keller
Image
Covenant community is like air. We don't miss it until we need it.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
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
Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
Your heart is smothering under your small ambitions.
Timothy Keller
Image
Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
