Timothy Keller
Image
What you do in secret tells you who your God is.
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.

Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
Timothy Keller
Image
To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
Timothy Keller
Image
Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.
Timothy Keller
Image
There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.
Timothy Keller
Image
When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.

The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.
