The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.
Timothy KellerHappiness is a by-product of wanting something more than happiness-to be rightly related to God and our neighbor.
Timothy KellerIn every other religion the indicative flows from the imperative. Which means, ‘because I do, therefore I am... because I do this, therefore I’m a child of God.’ But only in Christianity does the imperative flow from the indicative. ‘Because I am in Christ all these things, therefore I obey.’ Exactly the opposite.
