The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
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.

To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.

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
The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.
Timothy Keller

The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.

Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.

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.

The church does not simply have a missions department it should wholly exist to be a mission.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you come to recognize the beliefs on which your doubts about Christianity are based, and if you seek as much proof for those beliefs as you seek from Christians for theirs - you will discover that your doubts are not as solid as they first appeared.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
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
