Inspirational Quotes by Ravi Zacharias
“Staring at life’s cryptogram, we either see His name unmistakably resplendent or we see the confusion of religions with no single message, just garbled beliefs that plague our existence, each justified by the voice of culture. That may be the tragedy of the beguiling sentiment we call tolerance, which has become a euphemism for contradiction.”
“Sartre went so far as to say that the only question he could not answer was why he did not commit suicide.”
“It is possible to hold a treasure in your hand but be ignorant of it and go for the wrapping instead. This proximity to truth and distance from its worth is repeated innumerable times in our lives.”
“Staring at life's cryptogram, we either see His [Jesus'] name unmistakably resplendont or we see the confusion of religions with no single message, just garbled beliefs that plague our existence, each justified by the voice of culture. That may be the tragedy of the beguiling sentiment we call tolerance, which has become a euphemism for contradiction.”
“even skeptics have granted and recognized His unparalleled life and impact. Here, for example, is an opinion from a highly respected scholar, the famed historian W. E. H. Lecky: The character of Jesus has not only been the highest pattern of virtue, but the strongest incentive in its practice, and has exerted so deep an influence, that it may be truly said that the simple record of three years of active life has done more to regenerate and to soften mankind than all the disquisitions of philosophers and all the exhortations of moralists.1”
“In life’s most severe tests of motives, there is a politician in each and every one of us.”
“A deadly mistake that I believe our cultures make in the pursuit of meaning is this illusion that love devoid of the sacred, a naked love, is all we need to carry us through life’s tests and passions. Such a love cannot sustain us. Millions of lives are hurt every day in the name of love. Millions of betrayals have been made every day because of love. Love may make the world go round, but it does not keep life straight. In fact, love by itself will make evil more painful. Love can only be what it was meant to be when it is wedded first to the sacred. Sacredness means separateness. Holiness beckons not just to love”
“Religions that attempt to keep the body sacred while denying the Creator’s hand are in the same boat as skeptics who try to protect life while saying it is nothing more than matter.”
“The first escape route in the problem of evil is propounded by those who protest that God cannot exist because there is too much evil evident in life. They see no logical contradiction within their system since they do not have to prove that evil coexists with a good Creator. Evil exists; therefore, the Creator does not. That is categorically stated. But”
“Take a text out of context, and you make it a pretext.”
“The moral law will always stand over and above and against a heart that seeks to be its own guide. One”
“La fe que la Biblia enseña no se opone a la razón.”

“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.”
“El plan de Dios es que experimentemos un amor alimentado por su propio amor y practicado con sus límites prescritos. Piense a qué se parece el amor aparte de Dios. Millones de vidas son lastimadas diariamente en el nombre del amor, incluso hasta unas pocas vidas probablemente devastadas en su escuela hoy por desagradables notas para romper relaciones amorosas que son dejadas en las taquillas. El amor quizás haga que el mundo gire, pero el amor erróneo nos da mareos. El amor está en el corazón del gran plan de Dios para nosotros y nuestro mundo. La intención de Dios es que experimentemos su amor: un amor sagrado. Tenemos el tipo de amor correcto para pasar a otros cuando experimentamos su amor (1 Juan 4.19). ¿Qué tiene que ver todo esto con el sufrimiento? Todo. Como ve, cuando los escépticos afirman que un Dios bueno nos haría escoger solamente el bien, ignoran completamente lo que es el bien a los ojos de Dios. El bien comprende una elección. Es una vida voluntariamente y totalmente vivida para Dios aun cuando esa decisión es dura y costosa. Es un amor de Dios y para Dios que nos lleva a través de las más duras batallas de la vida. Cometemos un error mortal cuando pensamos que un amor aparte de Dios es todo lo que necesitamos para conducirnos a través de los momentos duros de la vida.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“A heart that truly worships is a heart that gives its best to God in time and substance.”
“Hay una manera mejor de pensar acerca de nuestras mentes: la Biblia nos manda a renovar nuestras mentes para pensar como Él piensa, no quitarlas quirúrgicamente (Romanos 12.1-2). Anímese al pensar que la Biblia está llena de personas que pensaban fuertemente. Algunos hasta debatieron con Dios, pero no les cayó un rayo encima, ni fueron castigados de otra manera: • Moisés se preguntó si Dios había tomado la decisión correcta al enviarlo a liberar los israelitas esclavos en Egipto (Éxodo 3.11). • Habacuc miró al mal descontrolado y al sufrimiento del mundo y le gritó a Dios: «¿Hasta cuándo?» (Habacuc 1.2). • Natanael abiertamente expresó su cansada opinión de las raíces de Jesús (Juan 1.46). • A Tomás le permitieron ver y tocar las heridas de Cristo para creer que había resucitado de los muertos (Juan 20.24-29). • Los habitantes de Berea dedicaron tiempo para probar con las Escrituras hasta la enseñanza del apóstol Pablo (Hechos 17.11). • No somos suficientemente inteligentes. Eso es absolutamente falso. Me doy cuenta de que todos estamos creados con diferentes habilidades. Pero no tenga miedo del material que parece estar muy por encima de su entendimiento. ¡Usted sí tiene la habilidad de luchar en él! No diga: «Esto es demasiado duro para mí». Cuando era más joven, ponerse en puntillas para llegar al envase de galletas no lo hacía a usted más alto. Tratar con ideas es asombrosamente diferente. Extender su entendimiento le hace mucho más alto, mucho más inteligente, para su próximo estirón espiritual.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“My relationship with God is intimate and personal. The Christian does not go to the temple to worship. The Christian takes the temple with him or her. Jesus lifts us beyond the building and pays the human body the highest compliment by making it His dwelling place, the place where He meets with us. Even today He would overturn the tables of those who make it a marketplace for their own lust, greed, and wealth.”
“Without truth, spirituality is nothing more than a hopeless confession that sheer matter alone does not answer life’s deepest hungers. Truth is the thread that separates true spirituality from false spirituality. Spirituality does not give relevance to life; rather, truth gives relevance to spirituality.”
“Let us see how the threads of your hopes, your dreams, and your calling come into place spiritually, practically, and intellectually.”
“Faith is not bereft of reason. F”
