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
Image
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion operates on the principle 'I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.' But the operating principle of the gospel is 'I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.'

If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
Image
If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
Timothy Keller
Image
A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.
Timothy Keller
Image
Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.
Timothy Keller
Image
The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.
