The Bible says that our real problem is that every one of us is building our identity on something besides Jesus.
Timothy Keller
Image
The human heart is an idol factory that takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them.
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
It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
Timothy Keller
Image
It is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.
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
No one is exempt from trials and tribulations. In fact, this is often what happens to people God loves very much, for it is part of God’s often mysterious and good plan for turning us into something great.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer-though it is often draining, even an agony-is in the long term the greatest source of power that is possible.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world can’t save itself. That’s the message of Christmas.
Timothy Keller
Image
Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly.
Timothy Keller
Image
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.
Timothy Keller
Image
Even if our own troubles are great, we should still serve. Jesus washed His disciples feet on the way to the cross.
Timothy Keller
Image
Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers.
Timothy Keller
Image
The more you understand how your salvation isn't about your behavior, the more radically your behavior will change.
Timothy Keller
Image
The irreligious don't repent at all and the religious only repent of sins. But Christians repent of their wrongfully placed righteousness.
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
Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
