TIMOTHY KELLERThose who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone.
TIMOTHY KELLERReligion is ‘if you obey, then you will be accepted’. But the Gospel is, ‘if you are absolutely accepted, and sure you’re accepted, only then will you ever begin to obey’. Those are two utterly different things. Every page of the Bible shows the difference.
TIMOTHY KELLERWe come to God saying, “Look at all I’ve done,” or maybe “Look at all I’ve suffered.” God, however, wants us to look to him – to just wash.
TIMOTHY KELLERGod relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.
TIMOTHY KELLERWe were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely – and when we are faithful to that design, we flourish.
TIMOTHY KELLERFaith is not primarily a function of how you feel.
TIMOTHY KELLERGenerosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.
TIMOTHY KELLERThink like a prophet, serve like a priest, and plan like a king.
TIMOTHY KELLERYou don’t fall in love. You commit to it.
TIMOTHY KELLERWhen we grasp that we are unworthy sinners saved by an infinitely costly grace, it destroys both our self-righteousn ess and our need to ridicule others.
TIMOTHY KELLERIn religion, you obey because God is useful. In Christianity, you obey because God is beautiful.
TIMOTHY KELLERYou can’t live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.
TIMOTHY KELLERWe are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
TIMOTHY KELLERYou dont fall into love. You commit to it. Love is saying I will be there no matter what.
TIMOTHY KELLERGod sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
