Timothy Keller Quotes About Salvation

• To say doctrine doesn't matter, only how you live matters, is itself a doctrine. It's the doctrine of salvation by works.

• Life in this fallen world is to a great degree meaningless, our aspirations are constantly being frustrated, and sometimes the respectable people are oppressive and bigoted. And yet there is a Good that will triumph over Evil in the end. From a Christian perspective the problem with both kinds of stories is that they tend to blame problems on things besides sin and identify salvation in things besides God — and therefore are ultimately too simplistic.

  "Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work".

• For 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.

• At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.

• Jesus does not divide the world into the moral "good guys" and the immoral "bad guys". He shows us that everyone is dedicated to a project of self-salvation, to using God and others in order to get power and control for themselves. We are just going about it in different ways. Even though both sons are wrong, however, the father cares for them and invites them both back into his love and feast.

• En Efesios 5, Pablo nos muestra que, incluso en la tierra, Jesús no utilizó su poder para oprimirnos, sino que lo sacrificó todo para llevarnos a la unión con Él. Y esto nos lleva más allá de lo filosófico a lo personal y práctico. Si Dios tenía en mente el evangelio de la salvación de Jesús cuando estableció el matrimonio, entonces el matrimonio sólo "funciona" en la medida en que se aproxima al modelo del amor de entrega de Dios en Cristo.

• This is the humbling truth that lies at the heart of Christianity. We love to be our own saviors. Our hearts love to manufacture glory for themselves. So we find messages of self-salvation extremely attractive, whether they are religious (Keep these rules and you earn eternal blessing) or secular (Grab hold of these things and you’ll experience blessing now).

• If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.

• Predicar el Evangelio es mostrar a la gente su necesidad de salvación con el telón de fondo de la naturaleza de Dios y el carácter del pecado, y luego presentar a Jesús como el único remedio para lo que les aflige a ellos y al mundo. En mi predicación semanal en los cultos, siempre invito a la gente a creer en Cristo.
