More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Passive righteousness tells us that God does not need our good works. Active righteousness tells us that our neighbor does. The aim and direction of good works are horizontal, not vertical.
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of sanctification is the life which feeds on justification.
Tullian Tchividjian
God did not rescue me out of the pain, He rescued me through the pain!
Tullian Tchividjian
Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.
Tullian Tchividjian
People who know they are not good make the best messengers of grace because they are desperately aware of their own need for it.
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
The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.
Tullian Tchividjian
God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.
Tullian Tchividjian
The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.
Tullian Tchividjian
I was always in places where I was widely accepted, approved and loved and I was finally in a place where people did not approve of me, did not accept me and did not love me. It was killing me.
Tullian Tchividjian
The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.
Tullian Tchividjian
My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.
Tullian Tchividjian
The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
Tullian Tchividjian
Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make bad people good it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.
Tullian Tchividjian
Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.
Tullian Tchividjian
I ended up dropping out of high school at 16 and getting kicked out of my home. My parents told me, sadly, that because I was so disruptive to the rest of the household, that I could no longer live under their roof.
Tullian Tchividjian
Mt. Sinai says, 'You must do. Mt. Calvary says, 'Because you couldn't, Jesus did.' Don't run to the wrong mountain for your hiding place
Tullian Tchividjian
The Bible makes it clear that self-righteousness is the premier enemy of the Gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
When you don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some obviously bad decisions about who I hung out with and the things that I did.
