Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
God does not love us because we are serviceable; He loves us simply because He loves us. This is the only kind of love we can ever be secure in, of course, since it is the only kind of love we cannot possibly lose. This is grace.

Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
No one is so good that they don't need the grace of the gospel, nor so bad that they can't receive the grace of the gospel.

Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
The gospel calls us out of religion as much as it calls us out of irreligion.
book-quote
Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
Paul is not saying that I must have nothing to do with the people and things of the world. Ironically, if I must have nothing to do with the world and must separate from it, then the world still has quite a lot of power over me! Paul means that the Christian is now free to enjoy the world, because he no longer needs to fear it, nor to worship it.

Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
The law has the power to show us that we are not righteous; but it cannot give us the power to be righteous.

Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
Christian living is therefore a continual realignment process-one of bringing everything in line with the truth of the gospel.
book-quote
Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
the gospel is the A to Z of the Christian life. It is not only the way to enter the kingdom; it is the way to live as part of the kingdom. It is the way Christ transforms people, churches and communities.

Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
We tend to see gifts as the sign of the Spirit's work in someone. But the Bible never does. Judas and King Saul were used by the Spirit to prophesy, do miracles, and so on… but they did not have Spirit-renewed hearts. To be truly led by the Spirit is to grow "the fruit of the Spirit" {v 22}. Gifts may or may not operate out of a grace-changed heart; but the fruit-growth of the Spirit can only happen in a child of God. The only test that the Spirit has really indwelled you as a child of God is the growth in the fruit of the Spirit. The first part of that fruit, which Paul mentions here is "love"; and as he says elsewhere, to a church which over-desired particular spiritual gifts: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong … I am nothing … I gain nothing" {1 Corinthians 13:1, 2, 3}.

Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
Ultimately, the gospel is offensive because the cross stands against all schemes of self-salvation.
book-quote
Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
Externalities are to do with our doing; internalities have to do with our being; and Christianity is about who I am in Christ, not what I do for Him.
book-quote
Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
The gospel comes and turns them all upside down. It says: You are in such a hopeless position that you need a rescue that has nothing to do with you at all. And then it says: God in Jesus provides a rescue which gives you far more than any false salvation your heart may love to chase.
book-quote
Timothy J. Keller _ Galatians For You
We must go back again and again to the gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.
