All TIMOTHY KELLER Quotes about “God”

“Legalistic remorse says, "I broke God's rules," while real repentance says, "I broke God's heart."”
“Some suffering is given in order to chastise and correct a person for wrongful patterns of life (as in the case of Jonah imperiled by the storm), some suffering is given not to correct past wrongs but to prevent future ones (as in the case of Joseph sold into slavery), and some suffering has no purpose other than to lead a person to love God more ardently for himself alone and so discover the ultimate peace and freedom.”
“Suffering is unbearable if you arenâ€™t certain that God is for you and with you.”
“Worry is not believing God will get it right, and bitterness is believing God got it wrong.”
“God's reckless grace is our greatest hope.”
“[Spiritual friendship] is eagerly helping one another know, serve, love, and resemble God in deeper and deeper ways.”
“To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.”
“The only love that wonâ€™t disappoint you is one that canâ€™t change, that canâ€™t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. Godâ€™s love is the only thing like that.”

“Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judgeâ€¦ There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.”
