The world says you are loved because of what you do. Jesus says you can now do all things because you are loved.
Timothy KellerA Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but heโs what you need.
Timothy KellerWe deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.
Timothy KellerFor indeed, grace is the key to it all. It is not our lavish good deeds that procure salvation, but God's lavish love and mercy. That is why the poor are as acceptable before God as the rich. It is the generosity of God, the freeness of his salvation, that lays the foundation for the society of justice for all. Even in the seemingly boring rules and regulations of tabernacle rituals, we see that God cares about the poor, that his laws make provision for the disadvantaged. God's concern for justice permeated every part of Israel's life. It should also permeate our lives.
