More quotes by 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
Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.
Tullian Tchividjian
The cross [is] the ultimate statement of God's involvement in the world on this side of heaven.
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
God's acceptance of us cannot be gained by our successes nor forfeited by our failures.
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
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.
Tullian Tchividjian
Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.
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 gospel doesn't just free me from what people think of me, but also from what I think of me.
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
While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.
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
God is inviting you today to appropriately grieve your pains and losses and to acknowledge the world is seriously broken.
Tullian Tchividjian
The Christian life has been nothing more and nothing less than a daily dependence on and a rediscovery of God's grace.
Tullian Tchividjian
The people who have taught me the most about grace are those who have blown it so bad that they know how much they need it.
Tullian Tchividjian
Your pain could be God prying open your life and heart to remove a gift of His that you've been on to more dearly than Him.
Tullian Tchividjian
Even those of us who have tasted the radical saving grace of God find it intuitively difficult not to put conditions on grace.
Tullian Tchividjian
Once God saves us He doesn't move us beyond the gospel, but He moves us more deeply into the gospel.
