The main problem in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the deep implications of the gospel, we have not 'used' the gospel in and on all parts of our life.

More quotes by Timothy Keller
Prayer is the way to experience a powerful confidence that God is handling our lives well, that our bad things will turn out for good, our good things cannot be taken from us, and the best things are yet to come.
Timothy Keller
Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.
Timothy Keller
We are so evil and sinful and flawed that Jesus had to die for us... But we are so lobed and valued that he was willing to due for us.
Timothy Keller
Prayer is a recognition of the greatness of our God.
Timothy Keller
Prayer turns theology into experience.
Timothy Keller
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
If you don't love the poor, you don't know what God's done for you.
Timothy Keller
The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.
Timothy Keller
Jesus does not just bring good news he is the good news.
Timothy Keller
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
The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.
Timothy Keller
If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did.
Timothy Keller
We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.
Timothy Keller
Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
Timothy Keller
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.
Timothy Keller
Marriage is so much like salvation and our relationship with Christ that you can’t understand marriage w/o looking at the gospel.
Timothy Keller
In every other religion the indicative flows from the imperative. Which means, ‘because I do, therefore I am... because I do this, therefore I’m a child of God.’ But only in Christianity does the imperative flow from the indicative. ‘Because I am in Christ all these things, therefore I obey.’ Exactly the opposite.
Timothy Keller
Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
Timothy Keller
Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.
