All TIMOTHY KELLER Quotes about “Identity”

“If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.”
“Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.”
“Faith in the gospel restructures our motivations, our self-understanding, our identity, and our view of the world. Behavioral compliance to rules without heart-change will be superficial and fleetingâ€¦ We can only change permanently as we take the gospel more deeply into our understanding and into our hearts. We must feed on the gospel, as it were, digesting it and making it part of ourselves. That is how we grow.”
“Sin is the despairing refusal to find your deepest identity in your relationship and service to God.”
“Paul sees all kinds of sins in himself and all kinds of accomplishments too, but he refuses to connect them with his identity.”
