If we can't love the sinner hate the sin then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

What greater value could you possibly have than to be delighted in and sacrificed for by the Maker of the universe.
Timothy Keller

One of the most frequent responses I get from non-Christian readers is: 'I'm not sure I agree with all this, but I must say this is the first book I've read by a Christian that didn't treat me like I was an idiot.'
Timothy Keller
Image
The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.
Timothy Keller
Image
Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller

Cities have more “image of God” per square inch than anywhere else, and so we must not idealize the country as somehow a more spiritual place than the city.
Timothy Keller
Image
True citizens of the heavenly city are the best residents of the earthly city.

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

Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians need the gospel as much as non-Christians do.
Timothy Keller
Image
A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our prayers should arise out of immersion in the Scripture. [We] speak only to the degree we are spoken to.
Timothy Keller
Image
The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are under-qualified for the job of God.
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
Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
