More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Grace flows most refreshingly through the faucet of brokenness.

Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.

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
I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.
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
God does everything through people who understand they're nothing. And God does nothing through those who think they're everything.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace always runs downhill, meeting us at the bottom, not the top.
Tullian Tchividjian
