I’m finding this book is really fantastic. I
will try posting a few things from it but I would highly recommend reading the
whole thing. It presents so many current questions people have in the answers
them so well. I think I find this book so fascinating because in my late teens
and early 20s I was a huge skeptic toward God and his son Jesus. I met many
so-called “Christians” that were hardly examples of Christ. After I came to the
Lord when I was 25 I still needed the skeptical questions answered. This book
is fantastic!
Hi - I'm reading
"The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism" by Timothy
Keller and wanted to share this quote with you.
"At first sight, then, a relationship with God seems
inherently dehumanizing. Surely it will have to be “one way,” God’s way. God,
the divine being, has all the power. I must adjust to God—there is no way that
God could adjust to and serve me. While this may be true in other forms of
religion and belief in God, it is not true in Christianity. In the most radical
way, God has adjusted to us—in his incarnation and atonement. In Jesus Christ
he became a limited human being, vulnerable to suffering and death. On the
cross," he submitted to our condition—as sinners—and died in our place to
forgive us. In the most profound way, God has said to us, in Christ, “I will
adjust to you. I will change for you. I’ll serve you though it means a
sacrifice for me.” If he has done this for us, we can and should say the same
to God and others. St. Paul writes, “the love of Christ constrains us” (2
Corinthians 5: 14)."
