Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy KellerUnless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
Timothy KellerWhen the world sees us doing evangelism, they just see us recruiting. When they see us doing justice, they see God's glory.
Timothy KellerThe main problem in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the deep implications of the gospel, we have not 'used' the gospel in and on all parts of our life.
Timothy KellerThe Bibleโs purpose is not so much to show you how to live a good life. The Bibleโs purpose is to show you how Godโs grace breaks into your life against your will and saves you from the sin and brokenness otherwise you would never be able to overcomeโฆ religion is โif you obey, then you will be acceptedโ. But the Gospel is, โif you are absolutely accepted, and sure youโre accepted, only then will you ever begin to obeyโ. Those are two utterly different things. Every page of the Bible shows the difference.
