A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but heโs what you need.
Timothy KellerThe church does not simply have a missions department; it should wholly exist to be a mission.
Timothy KellerIt's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
Timothy KellerWe do not have to make ourselves suffer in order to merit forgiveness. We simply receive the forgiveness earned by Christ. 1 John 1:9 says that God forgives us because He is โjust.โ That is a remarkable statement. It would be unjust of God to ever deny us forgiveness, because Jesus earned our acceptance! In religion we earn our forgiveness with our repentance, but in the gospel we just receive it.
