Timothy Keller Quotes About Self Love

Quotes about: Self Love

• There's nothing that makes you more miserable (or less interesting) than self-absorption .

  Timothy Keller

  Self, Interesting, Miserable

  Timothy Keller (2013). “Jesus the King: Understanding the Life and Death of the Son of God”, p.21, Penguin

• Unless we believe the gospel, we will be driven in all we do-whether obeying or disobeying-by pride ('self-love') or fear ('of damnation'). Apart from 'grateful remembering' of the gospel, all good works are done then for sinful motives. Mere moral effort may restrain the heart, but does not truly change the heart. Moral effort merely 'jury rigs' the evil of the heart to produce moral behavior out of self-interest. It is only a matter of time before such a thin tissue collapses.

  Timothy Keller

  Grateful, Believe, Heart

• If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

  Timothy Keller

  Hate, Self Love, Who We Are
