More quotes by 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
When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Real, pure, unadulterated freedom happens when the resources of the gospel smash any sense of need to secure for myself anything beyond what Christ has already secured for me.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.
Tullian Tchividjian
Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor God's favor leads to walking with God.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.
Tullian Tchividjian
I actually think one of most profoundly and deep pastoral moments between a pastor and his church is what happens between them before God in the context of preaching.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christian growth doesn't happen by first behaving better, but by believing better--believi ng in bigger, deeper, brighter ways what Christ has already secured for sinners.
Tullian Tchividjian
I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
If you look at the gospel, it just doesn't break things apart. The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation.
Tullian Tchividjian
God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.
Tullian Tchividjian
Once God saves us He doesn't move us beyond the gospel, but He moves us more deeply into the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
The hub of Christianity is not do something for Jesus. The hub of Christianity is Jesus has done everything for you.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
Tullian Tchividjian
Unfortunately, some Christians are guilty of throwing out an equivalent sentiment when they play the God is sovereign card as a way to trump every evil that comes your way.
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is love that seeks you out when you have nothing to give in return. Grace is love coming at you that has nothing to do with you. Grace is being loved when you are unlovable.
Tullian Tchividjian
As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.
Tullian Tchividjian
I enjoy receiving love from my wife. I'm ecstatic when Kim loves me and expresses affection toward me. Something in me comes alive when she does that. But I've learned this freeing truth: I don't need that love, because in Jesus, I receive all the love I need.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.
