Timothy J. Keller Quote

When Lovelace speaks of warming oneself at the fire of God’s love, he is describing what it means to meditate on the righteousness we have in Christ through his sacrificial death. If we don’t meditate on that until our hearts are hot with assurance, we will steal love and self-acceptance from worldly achievements, beauty, and status.
