Inspirational Quotes by Ravi Zacharias
“Everything gains only momentary explanation.”
“We became less than what we were meant to be.”
“God alone knows how to humble us without humiliating us and how to exalt us without flattering us. And how he effects this is the grand truth of the Christian message.”
“When hard reason fails, leave it to the poets.”
“they have ears, but cannot hear,”
“If, when I am restless, I am wishing there were a God, why not trade that for a belief that tells me that when I am meditating, I am God, and that the momentary excursions into humanity are nothing more than illusion?”
“Truth is stranger than fiction because we have made fiction to suit ourselves.”
“Sartre went so far as to say that the only question he could not answer was why he did not commit suicide.”
“Even if they are teaching truth, all others who have claimed or been accorded prophetic status are still at best human beings on whom this call from God was bestowed. Their assignment is a given one; they are the human receptors. Jesus, in distinction, is the Supreme Giver Himself. He is “from above,” say the Gospel writers.”
“Why are we so eager to prove to the world that we are the best at what we do and care not for why or who we are? How”
“El hecho de que tenemos una mente que razona para hacer y responder estas preguntas es un milagro en sí mismo. ¿No es esto otra prueba de la realidad de Dios? El hecho de que Dios nos permite hacer nuestras preguntas es uno de los más grandes dones para nosotros. ¿No es eso otra prueba de la confiabilidad de Dios? La fe que la Biblia enseña no se opone a la razón. No es una creencia ignorante en algo que se ha probado que es falso. No es una tentativa para forzar cada pieza en el molde de nuestros deseos. La fe bíblica está basada en el conocimiento de que aquel en el que ponemos nuestra fe ha probado que merece esa confianza. En su centro, la fe es una confianza en la persona de Jesucristo y en su poder, para que aun cuando su poder no sirva a mis metas o mis deseos, todavía confíe en Él, a causa de quien es.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“At a time in our cultural history when the West is looking more like the East and the East is covertly trying to emulate the West, this is much needed. Religions are making a revival, but often as a hybrid of western marketing techniques and eastern mythology—a devastating combination of seduction through media and mysticism.”
“Jesus Christ came to challenge every culture on the face of the earth so that we might gain a perspective from higher ground. But how does one reach that higher ground? We can see the hint of our predicament even from our lower vantage point. In spite of the limitations of our earthbound perspective, we still recognize wickedness. We still talk of witnessing evil. Maybe, there is a reason. C. S. Lewis helps us here: Heaven understands hell and hell does not understand heaven. . . . To project ourselves into a wicked character, we have only to stop doing something and something we are already tired of doing; to project ourselves into a good one we have to do what we cannot and become what we are not.1 “To”
“It took years to find out that the cry for openness is never what it purports to be. What the person means by saying, “You must be open to everything” is really, “You must be open to everything that I am open to, and anything that I disagree with, you must disagree with too.”
“But here, Christianity provides a counterchallenge to remind them that they have not escaped the problem of contradiction. If evil exists, then one must assume that good exists in order to know the difference. If good exists, one must assume that a moral law exists by which to measure good and evil. But if a moral law exists, must not one posit an ultimate source of moral law, or at least an objective basis for a moral law? By an objective basis, I mean something that is transcendingly true at all times, regardless of whether I believe it or not. This argument is very compelling and must be given due consideration by anyone who denies the existence of God but accepts the presence of evil.”
“Take a text out of context, and you make it a pretext.”
“Por lo tanto, entrégate al diseño divino y Sí el número uno a los ojos de Dios. Debes saber que eres el templo de Dios. Vive inmerso en la oración. Vive tu vida con humildad de espíritu y sirve por motivos rectos. Procura el consejo y el ejemplo de hombres y mujeres consagrados. Por último, reconoce la preeminencia de Cristo en todo. Esos son los elementos de un llamado. La vanagloria, el poder, la sensualidad y la seducción de los bienes materiales son impedimentos a dicho llamado.”
“A heart that truly worships is a heart that gives its best to God in time and substance.”
“Dios entrenó a Moisés en un palacio para luego usarlo en el desierto. Entrenó a José en el desierto para luego usarlo en un palacio.”
“Without truth, spirituality is nothing more than a hopeless confession that sheer matter alone does not answer life’s deepest hungers.”
