In Christian engagement, the goal is to win the person Ravi Zacharias More Quotes by Ravi Zacharias More Quotes From Ravi Zacharias When you find your definitions in God, you find the very purpose for which you were created. Put your hand into God's hand, know His absolutes, demonstrate His love, present His truth, and the message of redemption and transformation will take hold. Ravi Zacharias redemptionpurposehands Many Christians have so busied themselves with programs and activities that they no longer know how to be silent and meditate on God's word or recognize the mysteries that are in the Person of Christ. Ravi Zacharias silentmysterychristian Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life. Ravi Zacharias life-changingeasterjesus If truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive. Ravi Zacharias obnoxioustruthlove To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge Ravi Zacharias atheismatheistbelief If you believe in subjective morality, why do you lock your doors at night? Ravi Zacharias doorsnightbelieve Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer. Ravi Zacharias religiouschristiancommitment For the Christian, worship is co-extensive with life. Life is already an expression of worship. Ravi Zacharias expressionworshipchristian I do not believe that one can earnestly seek and find the priceless treasure of God's call without a devout prayer life. That is where God speaks. The purpose of prayer and of God's call in your life is not to make you number one in the world's eyes, but to make him number one in your life. We must be willing to be outshone while shining for God. We hear very little about being smaller in our own self-estimate. Ravi Zacharias christiangodlife Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone. Ravi Zacharias religiousjesuschrist Like a child who suddenly stops sobbing when he is clasped in the arms of his mother, such will be the grip of heaven upon our souls. Ravi Zacharias christianmotherinspirational Beginning well is a momentary thing; finishing well is a lifelong thing Ravi Zacharias lifelongfinishingwells While theoretically a person may block God out, logically there will be a breakdown because ultimately all enunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind. And if that moral doctrine is not absolute then the definer himself becomes undefined. That's what we are living with - an undefined definer giving us definitions for our course, and we are being trapped in the quicksand of the absence of objective truth. Ravi Zacharias blockmaygiving None of us like the concept of law because none of us like the restraints it puts on us. But when we understand that God has given us his law to aid us in guarding our souls, we see that the law is for our fulfillment, not for our limitation. The law reminds us that some things, some experiences, some relationships are sacred. When everything has been profaned, it is not just my freedom that has been lost- the loss is everyone's. God gave us the law to remind us of the sacredness of life, and our created legal systems only serve to remind us of the profane judgments we make. Ravi Zacharias soullawloss Christian faith is exclusivistic. Christian faith lays claim upon our lives. The sanctity of life, what we do with a life, is very definitive in the Christian faith, what we do with sexuality, what we do with marriage, all of the fundamental questions of life have points of reference for answers, and people just have an aversion for that. That I think is the biggest reason they feel hostile towards the Christian faith. Ravi Zacharias christianpeoplethinking It is theoretically and practically impossible to build any community apart from love and justice. If only one of these two is focused upon, an inevitable extremism and perversion follow.

Ravi Zacharias atheismlife-isreligion The day that each person willingly accepts himself or herself for who he or she is and acknowledges the uniqueness of God's framing process marks the beginning of a journey to seeing the handiwork of God in each life Ravi Zacharias acceptingjourneyprocess Where the eye is focused, there the imagination finds its raw material. The right focus must be won at immense cost and discipline. Train the eye to see the good, and the imagination will follow suit. Ravi Zacharias disciplineencouragementeye You cannot have a boundary-less existence, because your neighbor has his own boundaries, and who is going to give you the ethics between the two boundaries? If there is no objective moral law, relativism will take hold, and relativism ultimately will lead to self-destruction. Ravi Zacharias selflawtwo
