Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
Timothy KellerIt is inaccurate to think the gospel is what saves non-Christians, and then Christians mature by trying hard to live according to biblical principles. It is more accurate to say that we are saved by believing the gospel, and then we are transformed in every part of our minds, hearts, and lives by believing the gospel more and more deeply as life goes on.
Timothy KellerWhen we grasp that we are unworthy sinners saved by an infinitely costly grace, it destroys both our self-righteousn ess and our need to ridicule others.
Timothy KellerJesus says, "I want you to follow me so fully, so intensely, so enduringly that all other attachments in your life look weak by comparison"
