Timothy Keller

If we have not seen our sin and sought radical forgiveness from God, we will be unable to forgive and to seek the good of those who have wronged us.
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
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.
Timothy Keller
Image
God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
Timothy Keller
Image
Love is counting someone else’s needs and interests as more important than your own needs or interests or comfort.
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
The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.
