Christianity does not provide the reason for each experience of pain, but it does provide deep resources for actually facing suffering with hope and courage rather than bitterness and despair
Timothy Keller
Image
You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
Timothy Keller

Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.
Timothy Keller

Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller

Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you have a small view of your sin, God's grace will be small to you.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are free to fight sin, and free to win but we must still fight.
Timothy Keller
Image
To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Careful obedience to God’s law may serve as a strategy for rebelling against God
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'
Timothy Keller
Image
Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
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
Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
