Quote

At the end of history the whole earth has become the Garden of God again. Death and decay and suffering are gone. . . . Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living 'east of Eden,' always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will meet us and embrace us, and we will be brought into the feast.

We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.
Timothy Keller
Image
If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.
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
The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.
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.

Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
We have to be careful not to elevate our preferences to moral standards and judge others by them. We only do so to feel superior.

God will only give you what you would have asked for if you knew everything he knows
Timothy Keller

To be a Christian is a standing, a legal position. It means to be a child of God. You are or you are not, there is no try.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.
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
If you didn't earn your salvation how are you going to un-earn it?
Timothy Keller
Image
The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability.
Timothy Keller
Image
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
Timothy Keller

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
