Jesus the King Study Guide Quotes

“Nature is indifferent to you, but Jesus is filled with untamable love for you.”
― Timothy J. Keller, Jesus the King Study Guide: Exploring the Life and Death of the Son of God

“If you have a God great enough and powerful enough to be mad at because he doesn't stop your suffering, you also have a God who's great enough and powerful enough to have reasons that you can't understand.”
― Timothy J. Keller, Jesus the King Study Guide: Exploring the Life and Death of the Son of God

“When the Bible talks about sin it is not just referring to the bad things we do. It's not just lying or lust or whatever the case may be-it is ignoring God in the world he has made; it's rebelling against him by living without reference to him. It's saying, 'I will decide exactly how I live my life.' And Jesus says that is our main problem.”
― Timothy J. Keller, Jesus the King Study Guide: Exploring the Life and Death of the Son of God

“...[T]he gospel is not about choosing to follow advice, it's about being called to follow a King. Not just someone with the power and authority to tell you what needs to be done-but someone with the power and authority to do what needs to be done, and then to offer to you as good news.”
― Timothy J. Keller, Jesus the King Study Guide: Exploring the Life and Death of the Son of God

“The gospel isn't advice: It's the good news that you don't need to earn your way to God; Jesus has already done it for you. And it's a gift that you receive by sheer grace-through God's thoroughly unmerited favor.”
― Timothy J. Keller, Jesus the King Study Guide: Exploring the Life and Death of the Son of God
