Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.
Timothy Keller
Image
If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.

To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope.
Timothy Keller

Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.

The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.
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
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.
