Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy KellerOur Christian hope is that we are going to live with Christ in a new earth, where there is not only no more death, but where life is what it was always meant to be.
Timothy KellerSuffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.
Timothy KellerFreedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.
Timothy KellerRepentance out of mere fear is really sorrow for the consequences of sin, sorrow over the danger of sin โ it bends the will away from sin, but the heart still clings. But repentance out of conviction over mercy is really sorrow over sin, sorrow over the grievousness of sin โ it melts the heart away from sin. It makes the sin itself disgusting to us, so it loses its attractive power over us. We say, โthis disgusting thing is an affront to the one who died for me. Iโm continuing to stab him with it!โ
