TIMOTHY KELLERYou are a totally loved moral failure.
TIMOTHY KELLERAs long as we think we are not that bad, the idea of grace will never change us.
TIMOTHY KELLERSuffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.
TIMOTHY KELLERSuffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
TIMOTHY KELLERIt is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.
TIMOTHY KELLERReligion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
TIMOTHY KELLERThe gospel humbles us into the dust and at the very same time exalts us to the heavens.
TIMOTHY KELLERIt’s impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
TIMOTHY KELLERIf you don’t feel like praying, pray to God to give you the desire.
TIMOTHY KELLEREvery single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.
TIMOTHY KELLERYou are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
TIMOTHY KELLERSo we find messages of self-salvation extremely attractive, whether they are religious (Keep these rules and you earn eternal blessing) or secular (Grab hold of these things and you’ll experience blessing now).
TIMOTHY KELLERThe key question in order to change you is not ‘What would Jesus do?’ but “What has Jesus done for you?”
TIMOTHY KELLERReligion: ‘My identity is built on being a good person.’ Gospel: ‘My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ’s.’
TIMOTHY KELLERAll human problems are ultimately symptoms, and our separation from God is the cause.
TIMOTHY KELLERHow does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.
