Inspirational Quotes by Ravi Zacharias
“Life is lived out in self-contained compartments with nothing to connect them. Their bowing recognizes the sacred. Their expoiting grants the material. In living they desecrate others without a twinge of conscience. Yet if anyone were to hint at desecrating that shrine, his life sould be in peril. Such is the amputation of religion that pays homage to God but would be the most surprised if God were ever to show up.”
“Everything He said and did sustains that claim, and contrarily, nothing He said or did challenges that claim.”
“But certainly, to turn to God when all your earthly needs are already met is to express in no certain terms that faith in God is to trust Him even when other supports are within reach.”
“His earthly sojourn was not an origination, but a visitation.”
“And all the woe that moved him so That gave that bitter cry, And the wild regrets and bloody sweats, None knew so well as I: For he who lives more lives than one More deaths than one must die . . . And every human heart that breaks In prison-cell or yard, Is as that broken box that gave Its treasure to the Lord, And filled the unclean leper’s house With the scent of costliest nard. Ah! Happy day they whose hearts can break And peace and pardon win! How else may man make straight his plan And cleanse his soul from Sin? How else but through a broken heart May Lord Christ enter in?”
“the message of Christ was not the introduction of a religion, but an introduction to truth about reality as God alone knows it.”
“Comprometer su vida, hábitos, pensamientos, metas, prioridades, todo, a un cierto grupo de creencias sin primero hacer preguntas y recibir respuestas, es edificar su vida sobre un fundamento frágil.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“The rising voice of nationalism has unleashed horrors too numerous to mention. In years of travel, I have been to many places in the world where people think they are superior because of their culture, places like China, the Middle East, Europe, and America. One way or the other, we all think we are the center of the universe because of our place in life. We had absolutely nothing to do with our birth. Jesus did, and He chose a most unlikely city to call home. He was not ensnared by the flimsy and fickle attachments of nationalism. But”
“from a moral law. Objective moral values exist only if God exists. Is it all right, for example, to mutilate babies for entertainment? Every reasonable person will say no. We know that objective moral values do exist. Therefore God must exist. Examining those premises and their validity presents a very strong argument. In fact, J. L. Mackie, one of the most vociferous atheists who challenged the existence of God on the basis of the reality of evil, granted at least this logical connection”
“Think of this for a moment. In eighteen milliliters of water (about two swallows full), there are 6 x 1023 molecules of H2O. How much is 6 x 1023? A good computer can carry out ten million counts per second. It would take that computer two billion years to count to 6 x 1023. Look”
“Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experiences that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful, with particular satisfaction. Indeed, I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my seventy five years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence, has been through affliction and not through happiness, whether pursued or attained. . . . This, of course is what the Cross signifies. And it is the Cross, more than anything else, that has called me inexorably to Christ.”
“What a wonderful day it was when I stopped running and, by His strength, let the embrace of His love envelop me.”
“Naturalism by its purpose engineers the displacement of the miracle and puts in its place explanations that defy reason. Those who smirk at His walking on water have forgotten the miracle He has already performed in the very composition of water. Think”
“The Hindu scriptures actually fall into two broad categories—the Smriti and the Sruti. Smriti means, “That which is remembered.” The authors are many and the assertions they make are diametrically different. In this corpus lie the speculations of Indian sages, ranging from the profound to the utterly bizarre, by their own admission. Sruti, on the other hand, means, “That which was revealed.” This is the eternally true revelation of the devout Hindu. If this revelation is eternally true, then the religion cannot claim that all ways are true for the simple reason that some religions deny the eternal veracity of the Vedas. Muslims, Buddhists, and Christians would deny such a claim. As a matter of fact, even some Hindu scholars would deny that claim. Either their denial is true, or the claim of the Hindu is true. But,”
“la incredulidad es contagiosa; es fácil contraerla si no piensa bien en lo que cree y por qué.”
― Ravi Zacharias ,
“God’s grace is beyond description. He lifted all of us over the walls of our own imprisonment.”
“En síntesis, los indicios de la verdad se revelan mediante todos los sentidos. Dios es el guardián de la razón y nos invita a verificar la consistencia de la Biblia con la realidad y a comprobar la coherencia de sus aseveraciones. Además, nuestra experiencia diaria confirma esas verdades en la realidad concreta. Nuestro mayor privilegio es conocer a Dios y vivir conforme a la verdad. Esto suscita una coherencia interna en nosotros.”
“Much of American theology celebrates the Christ of healing but doesn’t know what to do with the Christ of suffering. We honor Christ our Healer, and honor Him we should! We should also honor Christ our Sufferer.”
“Words processed only by our heads, words that come through the eye or ear gates but only go a few inches farther, don’t change us. It is the words that somehow arise within our spirit and then move into our soul and mind that change us.”
“Ignorance of our future is a form of God’s grace. Few of us would be able to fully embrace today if we knew what tomorrow held.”
