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
Image
Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.
Timothy Keller

Prayer turns theology into experience.

The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
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.

God's reckless grace is our greatest hope.

Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
Timothy Keller

The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
Timothy Keller

The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is never just an emergency flare or desperate anxious gamble. God's attention is not based on our performance but parental love.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
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.

Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
Money isn't an idol. It just shows you where your idols are.
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
Image
The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.

Easter means that Christmas worked.
