"If you're avoiding sin and living morally so……" — Timothy Keller

"If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God."

— Timothy Keller
