Inspirational Quotes by Ravi Zacharias
“uses your life to fashion you for his purpose, using all the threads within his reach?”
“In a culture rife with power and position, where the home bespoke volumes, shame would not be the path of choice for anyone. Had the virgin birth not been true, to assert that truth would be the path of cultural ostracism, if not suicide for all of them.”
“As much as that retrospective look troubles us, however, it makes for a fascinating confirmation that without God, the thing never would have happened.”
“The reality is that if religion is to be treated with intellectual respect, then it must stand the test of truth,”
“I left the altar rail and went back to the pew where the others were kneeling like four shadows, four unrealities, and I hid my face in my hands. In the temple of God that I had just become, the once eternal and pure sacrifice was offered up to the God dwelling in me. The sacrifice of God to God. Now, Christ born in me, a new Bethlehem, and sacrificed in me his new Calvary, and risen in me: offering me to the Father, in himself, asking the Father, my Father and his, to receive me into his infinite and special love — not the love he has for all things that exist, for mere existence is a token of God’s love, but the love of those creatures who are drawn to him in and with the power of his own love for himself.3”
“Without truth, spirituality is nothing more than a hopeless confession that sheer matter alone does not answer life’s deepest hungers.”
“Getting to Mars is a problem. Falling in love is a mystery.”2”
“Faith is not bereft of reason. F”
“Let us see how the threads of your hopes, your dreams, and your calling come into place spiritually, practically, and intellectually.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“A heart that truly worships is a heart that gives its best to God in time and substance.”
“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.”

“All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not and accordingly, of defining life’s purpose.”
“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.”
“La fe que la Biblia enseña no se opone a la razón.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“The moral law will always stand over and above and against a heart that seeks to be its own guide. One”
“What, then, is the starting point? Since the crux of the problem is first and foremost moral questioning, how can there be moral justification for evil? An analogy from C. S. Lewis may be of help. He reminded us that when a ship is on the high seas, at least three questions must be answered. Question number one, How do we keep the ship from sinking? Number two, How do we keep it from bumping into other ships? These two may be obvious but behind them lurks the most important one, number three, Why is the ship out there in the first place? The first of the questions deals with personal ethics. The second addresses social ethics. The third one wrestles with normative ethics. Our”
