The Bible’s purpose is not so much to show you how to live a good life.

Timothy Keller

The gospel is not only the way to enter the kingdom; it is the way to live in the kingdom.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Enter Gospel Kingdom Live Only Way
When I forget the gospel I become dependent on the smiles and evaluation of others.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Dependent Evaluation Forget Other Smile
God 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 KELLER

Appreciate Deserve God Grace Offer People Relentlessly Save Seek
Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
TIMOTHY KELLER

It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Anything Difficulty Fortifies Liberate Need Pretense Righteousness Self
Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.

This is the humbling truth that lies at the heart of Christianity. We love to be our own saviors. Our hearts love to manufacture glory for themselves.

When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn’t think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.”
TIMOTHY KELLER

Attractive Cross Down Give Jesus Look Myself Think
As long as we think we are not that bad, the idea of grace will never change us.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Change Grace Ideas Long never Think
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Changing Dead Everything Jesus Life Rose Said Teach Worry
Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Base Bases Fear Hate Joy Make Ourselves Repentance Sin
Yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Accept Christ Dare Jesus Love More Same Time Yet
