The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.

Tim Keller
Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.

Tim Keller
As many have learned and later taught, you don't realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.

Tim Keller
Only in Jesus Christ do we see how the untamable, infinite God can become a baby and a loving Savior. On the cross we see how both the love and the holiness of God can be fulfilled at once.

Tim Keller
It is because Jesus Christ experienced cosmic thirst on the cross that you and I can have our spiritual thirst satisfied. It is because he died that we can be born again. And he did it gladly. Seeing what he did and why he did it will turn away our hearts from the things that enslave us and toward him in worship. That is the gospel, and it is the same for skeptics, believers, insiders, outcasts, and everyone in between.

Tim Keller
I am accepted by God through the work of Jesus Christ - therefore I obey

Tim Keller
Jesus Christ, who had all the power in the world, saw us enslaved by the very things we thought would free us... He laid aside the infinities and immensities of His being and, at the cost of His life, paid the debt for our sins, purchasing us the only place our hearts can rest, in His Father's house. Knowing He did this will transform us from the inside out.

Tim Keller
Jesus warns people far more often about greed than about sex, yet almost no one thinks they are guilty of it.
