Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.

More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
There are a still lot of people in today's church who can easily identify the idolatry outside the church and are pretty proud of the fact that they are not like them. And yet, we are far too slow to recognize the idolatry inside the church and more painfully, the idolatry inside our hearts.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace frees you to be honest about what you've always known to be true about yourself: that you're weaker & more afraid than you want to be.
Tullian Tchividjian
The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.
Tullian Tchividjian

God loves broken people because broken people are all that there are.
Tullian Tchividjian
The way of God's grace becomes indispensable when we realize that the way of God's law is inflexible.
Tullian Tchividjian
We often read the Bible as if it were fundamentally about us: our improvement, our life, our triumph, our victory, our faith, our holiness, our godliness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
Tullian Tchividjian
We are not responsible for finding the right formula to combat or unlock our suffering.
Tullian Tchividjian
It's better to feel sorry for doing something bad than to feel superior for doing something good.
Tullian Tchividjian
Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.
Tullian Tchividjian
Assurance never comes from looking at ourselves. It only comes as a consequence of looking to Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be.
Tullian Tchividjian
Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace flows most refreshingly through the faucet of brokenness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Because Jesus was someone, you’re free to be no one.
Tullian Tchividjian
When the Christian faith becomes defined by who we are and what we do and not by who Christ is and what he did for us, we miss the gospel - and we, ironically, become more disobedient.
Tullian Tchividjian
I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.
