Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'
Timothy Keller
Image
It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.
