More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.
Tullian Tchividjian
We are not responsible for finding the right formula to combat or unlock our suffering.
Tullian Tchividjian
When you fail to distinguish Law and Gospel, you lose both.
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
There's absolutely no way you can feel the freedom to embarrass and humiliate yourself unless you have finally recognized that your identity is in someone other than yourself.
Tullian Tchividjian
Because the church has moved away from the gospel anytime you move away from the gospel, you at the same time move toward pretense, you move toward image-keeping, you move toward the need to pretend.
Tullian Tchividjian
The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.
Tullian Tchividjian
Rest assured: Before God, the righteousness of Christ is all we need before God, the righteousness of Christ is all we have.
Tullian Tchividjian
Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.
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
As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.
Tullian Tchividjian
I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.
Tullian Tchividjian
The Gospel frees us to speak honestly about the reality of pain, confident that nothing is riding on our ability to cope with or fend off suffering.
Tullian Tchividjian
The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.
Tullian Tchividjian
To be Biblically balanced is to let our theology and preaching be proportioned by the Bible's radically disproportionate focus on God's saving love for sinners seen and accomplished in the crucified and risen Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.
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
When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.
