My heart sunk when I saw this. His sermons pulled me out of some of my darkest places. I expect to thank him face to face someday

We spent the last year with our son who had stage 4 oral cancer. While he was suffering, we read Tim's book on suffering which really put things into perspective. Our son passed away in early March. In going through his things we saw that our son had read other books by Tim. When we realized Tim was fighting cancer, it was encouragement to our son in his fight. God used this man in our lives and during a very critical time.

I’m from a family of non-Christians. God used Tim Keller to help me understand the gospel more deeply and adore Christ more richly. It’s my privilege now as a physician to share that compassion, kindness, and hope with others. Tim Keller is truly one of the heroes of the faith.

I found this man when I questioned my faith, I found this man when I continued to experience failure, I found this man when I had difficulties as a husband, I found this man when I first experienced true loss, I found this man when I kept falling short, and I found this man when I hoped to understand the beauty of the Gospel and Christ! And each time he shepherded me ever so wisely, candidly, and gently only a Tim Keller could! Still can't believe how sad I felt for someone I had never met, but just goes to show you the testament of his impact on my life! Thank You Tim and Kathy and Family! #ThankYouTimKeller

I wished to shake his hands one day and tell him how much of an influence he had on my life😢

Now he and Dr. Stanley are with our Lord and Savior - oh death, where is your victory?!? Thank You Jesus and You Holy Spirit for providing comfort in knowing they are both home.

His sermons helped me out of one of the darkest moments in my life. Rest well sir... A girl from a little place in Africa

I cried like I lost someone so dear to me yet he never knew me. God deepened my understanding of my faith through Pastor Tim’s sermons. It’s now your turn to see the tree, Pastor Tim! Thank you for leaving us with the legacy of the leaf ❤️

Dear brother, Your prodigal sons sermons changed my life. You’re now cancer free. ❤❤

Enjoy your crowns Dr. Keller! And the presence of our Lord and Savior. We will miss you dearly ❤

He was the only preacher who could help me through the darkest depression. Thank God for Tim Keller. My heart is grieving 😢.

Pastor Tim, I have never met you in person, but over the past three years, you have been my pastor digitally. Your sermons finally ignited God's love in my heart after many years of God remaining a concept in my head. Thank you for introducing me to the joy of the Lord through God's word! Sing on in glory, brother Timothy! I can't wait to finally meet you in person when that day comes. I am warning you now to expect a longer than comfortable hug.

He made the super intelligent side of Christianity understandable to me. I’m not a scholar, pastor nor have I gone to seminary. Just a plain mum who wanted understand some biblical things a bit deeper - grateful ❤

I want to express my sincere gratitude for your teachings. They have truly impacted my perspective on the Gospel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

After 44 years of being in church, I am just now learning how to be a Christian thanks to Timothy Keller. The Prodigal God floored me. And “Counterfeit Gods” taught me the secret to a successful marriage.

Tim opened a new world to me regarding reason and religion. He was expressive, had a sense of humor, and such detailed knowledge of scripture that it was shocking sometimes how his sermons changed my perception of God, myself and the relationship therein; Thank you Tim. God's blessings to your family bro.

Desperately sad that we’ve lost such a man. ❤️🕊️❤️

See you soon, Tim Keller

Wow, so surreal. Keller was such a gift especially to NYC. May his ministries continue to live on and build the Kingdom, until the Lord comes.

God used Timm Keller in such a powerful way in my life, through his books and sermons. When I was struggling to regain my faith, his words showed me the beauty, love and majesty of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Rest in peace Tim.

Tim made Jesus Christ beautiful. I think that’s the best compliment anyone can get.

Lord, thank you for the blessing of being able to hear this man for a while. 🙏🙏✝️

I can't consider myself a Christian butt have been listening him a lot. Rest in peace

I'm Brazilian. Tim Keller helped me with his books. His last words " I can't wait to see Jesus" shows me your faith and hopefulness that I also need.

I had the privilege of listening to Pastor Keller's sermons in-person back in the day. Thank you for living the Gospel and seeking out the unreached. May the presence of God comfort your family and the broader fellowship of believers. Death has no victory!

I came to know Christ at 57yrs old, and I listened to anything and everything he put out. Intellect of Lion, the gentleness of a lamb. And a deep respect for ALL Gods people. I loved how people would say about him that he was the same on or off the stage. He had a wonderful ability to reach anyone with the simple/ complexity of the Bible. It was always Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! I am deeply upset at this news, but I know that all he worshipped he’s experiencing now. I pray for his family and for all those that knew Timothy Keller. God bless you for all ETERNITY!!

This is so sad, yet we celebrate his life. God graciously used him to shape our lives. He taught me to pay more attention to my inward life and to preach to the heart. He introduced me to many books. Much love Keller family from South Africa ❤❤🙏

Timothy Keller will remain one of the few great examples of godly men who lived their purposes and finished strong in this century! May the Lord comfort his family.

We grieve alongside your family but celebrate 🎉 the life you now have with the Father, in your glorious form. Praise God for your time on this earth to be able to share his grace and love and what that means to us. Thank you again Pastor Tim!

I can't believe this.. In much shock. I never met this man but he helped me walk through my sister's painful death in his book 'Walking With God Through Pain and Suffering'.. Goodnight sir.

We miss you already, Pastor Keller. Thank you for all of your heartfelt contributions to humanity. You made our world a better place as you pointed us toward the next. Looking forward to meeting you in heaven one day.

Only one life twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last. Well done good and faithful servant!! He’s with the Lord now!!

I have been a Christian for many years but I have never reflected on my Christian faith, walk, and life more deeply than the way Tim Keller's teachings have inspired me to. His spiritual wisdom and insight have changed the way I view and understand the Bible, and its impact on my life in more practical and supernatural ways than I could ever imagine. Tim's passing is indeed a loss to the faith community; a brilliant Man of God we will remember forever and what he has left us with is nothing short of God's divine goodness. 🙏

Though I've never set foot on NYC, I have visited and revisited Tim Keller's books and sermons--especially on the subjects of suffering and sexuality. I've watched his kind, intelligent face and listened to his wise words via video so many times... I'm gonna miss him.

Pastor Timothy Keller preaching and teaching has pulled me out of some very dark places. He did it in such a graceful and non judgemental way. I am thankful to our Heavenly Father for the blessing that poured into my life through Pastor Tim’s teaching, podcast, videos and writings. My prayers are with your family and those who love you.

There is power in the written and living Word of God! It is available to all believers.

Thankyou sincerely Tim Keller. Bless you.

No words to adequately express my gratitude for Tim Keller’s teachings. #thankyoutimkeller

Rip Timothy James Keller, you will be missed

I don’t have social media, so I will share my #ThankYouTimKeller here. Tim would have no way of knowing that I - a 35 year old girl in Reno, NV who never met him - wept to see the news of his death, simply because I loved knowing he was in this world and am so sad he is no longer. He has been such a steady, faithful voice in my life and exemplar of what it is to adore Jesus, trust God, be deeply embedded in Scripture, and love the cities we live in with kindness, joy, beauty, and service. To be so smart, so well read, so “successful” by nearly every standard - and remain so humble. It was what consistently drew and endeared me to his teaching. As a regular “Gospel in Life”r, it amazes me that no matter when I listen or what the subject matter is, it hits me in a tender, specific spot. I reference him constantly and read he and Kathy’s “God’s Wisdom for Navigating Life” devotional each morning. (It’s fantastic.) Thank you, Tim Keller. You make me want to know and love Jesus more. No matter how disillusioned I get - either by my own sin and ridiculousness or the daunting, cultural chaos - you show me Jesus again. In a way where I see both my need for Him and His accessibility. And that gives me incredible hope. Whenever someone struggles with faith or the distorted image of what they think is Christianity, I always think, “You should listen to Tim Keller.” ♥️

Thank you Pastor Tim Keller. I have been Christian for 4 decades. My son introduced me to your teachings. Since then my faith has been strengthen and deepen. Your wisdom influenced thinking and culture. I am always persuaded by your winsome approach in addressing hard questions . Thank you for your generous giving to bring hope through the gospel of truth. Thank you for the legacy of authentic living that has impacted culture in a transforming way. Thank God for you!!

A Soldier of the Lord! There are only two Ministers of the Gospel when they passed on to Glory that I cried. E. V. Hill and Tim Keller. This soft spoken giant ministered the Gospel with clarity and depth of understanding. Touched my life. Never met him but I will never forget him. Praying for his wife and family.

Thank you very much for your sermons that have accompanied these yrs.. no words can express my gratitude and respect for this wonderful man who has tried to bring so many of us to Jesus - with so much sense yet grounded by the gospels. May God comfort his loved ones. Thank you and you will be missed…

I’ve been dreading this day, but striving to see the joy we are to hope for about death in the scriptures. The world has lost a great man. Thank you Tim for your ministry and heart. He changed my whole understanding of the gospel when I first heard him in the ‘Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World’ series. Niche, but it had an impact on me that cannot be understated. Absolutely groundbreaking stuff. Thank you for it all.

I can't believe I am crying when I hear this sad news. He has changed my understanding of what I believe and helped me to get deeper in relationship with God. Thank you, Tim Keller and thank you God for giving him the wisdom he needed to share the truth about You.

Our God is truly Amazing! This is not our home. His plan and purpose for our life is eternal. It is an honor to be with the Lord. Tim is home with the Lord! Thank Jesus for the blessing of Tim. May your peace continue to be with his loved one.

Glory to God for the live of Tim Keller.

Well done brother Tim. We are all gonna see you soon

A mentor of mine told me several years ago how he cried when he heard RC Sproul had died, I told him I never considered it but Tim Keller was so impactful to me that I knew I would do the same for him. I called my mentor yesterday to let him know. He said "it's such a terrible but beautiful thing", which is exactly how I felt knowing Tim is with Christ! I thank God for great men and teachers who were never perfect but were always faithful.

Rest in Peace, Rise in Glory. With gratitude i thank you for your teaching that impacted my life and ministry. Great teacher and man who can drag anyone to enjoy Gospel Center life style. Thank you for what you have done through your ministry to me and to the world.

How beautiful are the feet of them that bring Good News. Tim Keller, in heaven will have the most beautiful feet indeed. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Have mercy upon his wife and family.

I never met Tim, but, as many around the world, I was impacted by his testimony of life and teaching of the Word. The greatest lesson, among many others that Tim left for me, was that in every circumstance, in every moment in life and history, we should POINT TO JESUS as our ultimate savior and answer for life questions. Thanks Tim (and Kathy) for fighting the good battle till the end and for being a solid Christian model that is rare in these days. See you in Heaven!

Mourning the loss of Tim Keller! I have often joked that I owe Tim Keller thousands of dollars in counseling fees. I pray the Lord is paying him back in heaven now. When the Lord saw fit to crush me, the Lord used Tim's sermons to restore my soul and give me an eternal perspective. He challenged me to find my identity in Christ alone, not in my outward circumstances. I would turn his sermons on, and listen in the darkest moments. He was/is a true gift to the church and to this generation of believers. Due to his recorded teachings and books, Tim will be a blessing to many generations to come. I'm quite confident, that had I not had Tim's teachings over the years, I would not have become a Biblical Counselor as I am now. I praise God for Tim Keller's life!

I celebrate and I love you Tim Keller. Your sermons light my path. See you in heaven

He may be in NYC but he has touched my life like a Spiritual dad through his preachings and books. Thank you Dr Keller. You have helped me know and love Jesus more 🤍

I so enjoyed Pastor Keller. So calm and he shows Christ to all you hear him.

I knew pastor Keller was sick with cancer and I knew I will hear that he passed to eternal life, I really thank God for this servant, what a wonderful way on teaching and explaining at the same time the Bible verses, was easy to understand him, the Lord used him many times to uplift my soul when I was down, so beautiful to know that one day we will be with our Lord for ever and ever, I am sure the Lord received pastor Keller and told him: “His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 🌸🙏

My condolence from Taipei, Taiwan. Thank you Mr.Tim Keller for so many insightful, delightful, inspirational sermons from time to time.

I use to drive alone and hear his sermons. And his love for God brought me closer to God with a sense of clarity and leaving with hope. His work made me see the beauty of Christ and even in times, I felt like a weight has been lifted. Truly gift with the insight of the word of God. His work will inspire others for years to come❤

Thank you, Tim, for all you did. Now you rest with the Father, free from all pain and suffering. Enjoy Him.

Love using his God’s Wisdom….devotional year after year…..his prayers reflect such humility and vulnerability.

Prayers for the Keller family in their mourning. Felt such a pervasive sense of grief yesterday when I heard this news. Heaven welcomes a good servant, but many will miss and ache for what he represented and meant for believers here. God bless him & his family.

A life well lived! May God comfort his family and friends. Tim’s life and ministry has been a blessing to me and many of my close friends here in Ethiopia. Thankful for him.

❤ praise God for you Tim, we will see you again!!

The world is a little bit darker without Tim. Eternal memory!

To the pastor I never met personally. You've been a huge influence on my walk of faith, and for that I thank you.

I'm a 74 yo widow with no family but I felt he was. Thank you TK. ❤

Tim Keller's The Prodigal God, so aptly named, is an inspiring treatise of the parable we know as the Prodigal Son. Pastor Keller is in the presence of the his beautiful, wonderful, merciful heavenly Father.

I look forward to listening to his sermons and talks. They are always so thought provoking. He will be missed dearly

Praise Jesus for shaping Tim Keller into the man in Christ he became, and his ability to convey the depths of your significance to the masses. I love and miss you, Tim!

His book, “The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness” is great and remembering it helps me almost everyday, he’s with the Lord now 🙏

😔😔😔 he really pulled me out of a terribly dark time last year. He helped me see God in a real way. The gospel does change everything.

I am a non-believer, but I respected Tim Keller for his intellect, and listened to him with deep interest. Above all that, however, I respected him for his heart.

Thank you for impacting my life Tim .In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

What an articulate and humble bible scholar. He presented God’s Word in a way that captivated my heart. I was introduced to one of his books on Psalms about 10 years ago. Then during lockdown I was truly blessed with many of his teachings on KZfaq and on Premier Christian Radio in the UK. My heart sank on hearing about Tim’s diagnosis of cancer but trusted the Lord for a miracle. And our God did 🙏🏽 He blessed Tim with nearly two years considering the aggressive type of cancer that it was. Tim has touched many life’s with winsome expository of the Gospel. Absence from the body present with his Lord. Thank God for Tim’s life. Deepest sympathy to his wife, children and wider family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I thank the Lord for Tim Kelly's life and ministry. I used to pray for him, as he blessed me so much through his books. May the Lord comfort his family. Blessings Mishella from UK 🇬🇧

Thank you Tim Keller for being my 'mentor' through your books soon after I became a Christian way back in 1966 especially your book 'A Shephard Looks At Psalm 23'. God's comfort and peace to his beloved wife and sons. RIP Tim in the arms of your beloved Jesus whom you served till the end Praying on from Elisabeth Alfred Malaysia

The Prodigal God - that book helped me so much to see the elder brother in me! Praise God that we don’t grieve as those who don’t have a hope, praise God for salvation and we can be sure that on that day we will see our Saviour and those who loved and served the triune God faithfully!

I miss you already Pastor.

SO HAPPY That Tim is NOW WITH HIS Savior JESUS CHRIST... FOREVER!!!!!!

I love you Dr. Keller. You will be greatly missed. THANK YOU for making a difference in my life Mari

Thank you for your sermons. They got me through sleepless nights of withdrawals from addiction. Bless you sir. Well done faithful servant

Thank you Tim. You don't know how much your Sermons encouraged my life . Thank God for this Wonderful Man of God.❤ Deep Condolences to the Keller Family.

His sermons sustained me and the missionaries on our team in China. We would weekly listen to his sermons together.

So much I could say about this man and how his teachings so impacted (and are impacting) my wife and me. I never met him. Never saw him teach in public. Yet I have listened so so many messages, read his books and experienced how Jesus used Tim to preach the TRUE gospel over and over again until it sunk into my heart and soul so deeply I will never be the same. So many people who have been gifted this way slowly let it go to their heads and they forget that their gift came from God. From all accounts Tim never let this power teaching gift become his identity and cause him to talk down to the people he was teaching. He taught with power yet humility and I don't believe I have ever seen someone with that degree of a teaching gift do that. We will all miss him so.

I never met Tim Keller in person. However through his teachings and sermons, God has used him to father me. I’m so thankful for his obedience and his love for Lord. Indeed he will be missed, but his teachings will inspire listeners to cultivate an authentic relationship with the Lord.

Farewell and thank you so much for your contribution to keep my faith alive … Rest in His arms ps. Tim .. ❤

His sermons helped me get through a nervous breakdown and deep depression. Not to talk about the amounts of inspiration i found in his Love for God, and fascinating way of thinking. This one hurts deep, though i know he is at peace now. Might The mercy and Love of The Lord Jesus Christ and all His Angels receive him in Heaven.

MAY YOU BE IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, SOLDIER OF THE LORD JESUS...

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven" = ADORE CHRIST. Thanks to Pastor Keller for helping me to see the preeminence of Christ.

Tim Keller's ministry brought so much richness to me about God and the Bible. He helped me to see the Bible as One big story all about God's redemption plan and how to live out the Gospel every day not just at the end of my days [death]

I started reading Tim Keller after my mom died. I was mad. as. fire! A friend took me to B&N for a book. I chose "A Reason for Faith" at a time that I wasn't sure if faith was reasonable. I read it quickly. It really helped. I learned that when platitudes ain't cuttin' it, see what Tim Keller has to say about it! His work was predictably insightful and inspired. He will be missed but his memory will be a blessing to 1000 generations! #ThankYouTimKeller

Was saddened to see this video pop up on KZfaq this morning. Thank you & God bless you Tim Keller. You are now with the King, our saviour, Jesus Christ.

"Come, enter into rest you good and faithful servant". Faithful till the end. Faithful thru sickness and cancer. Rest in the presence of your Lord. Rest in beautiful mansions. Rest. Thank you for your faithful service Pt. Keller.

I first discovered Timothy Keller's ministry when a colleague handed me a book titled "The Reason for God" over ten years ago. As a Christian I liked his style of writing and then listened to his sermons on KZfaq recorded at Redeemer in NY. Tim Keller is so very different to most other pastors in that he not only shares the utter simplicity of the Gospel, but he sets it apart from the complexity of everyday life and modern thinking, like postmodern philosophy. Tim always pointed towards Jesus as the point of focus whereas countless frauds and self-righteous preachers point only towards themselves, while instilling fear and self-loathing into their congregations. This is not to say God doesn't use them, he exposes them eventually even though they preach from the same scriptures. Tim helped me in so many ways that I am reminded that as long as Tim spoke and wrote, and as long as I am able to speak and write, Jesus is affirmed in truth when he said, "Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away." As long as we love the Gospel and bring it to unbelievers, we keep those words alive. THANK YOU SO MUCH TIM!!! See you again one day.

I am honestly very sad about his leaving but meanwhile feel so thankful to encounter P. Keller through all the teachings online. His great and deep interpretation of Bible guides me out of a lot of confusion especially in the difficult times. I regret that I couldn’t meet him in person but I do believe one day I will. He has left such a legacy to me and to the whole world. Thank you so very much Pastor Tim Keller.

THANK YOU, TIM KELLER. THANK YOU FOR HIS LIFE, JESUS.

I’ve read a number of books by TK as many of you have also. The first one I saw being carried around by others was “The Reason for God” and then when I moved to Memphis to go through Downline Ministires Emerging Leaders program we were instructed to read “Prodigal God” and later on my own I read a few others like “The Meaning of Marriage” “Jesus The King” “Preaching” “Galatians for You” and “Making Sense Of God” and maybe a few others. He words things very well in most of his writings. A very clear thinker. A student of C.S Lewis, as far as taking in his wealth of wisdom. He’s definitely made an impact on how I understand the gospel through his books and sermons. A lot of times in his sermons I would be caught off guard the direction he was taking the message and truly surprised how he always brought it back to the gospel. Amazing gift to his family and extended family (The Church) Thank you, Mr. Keller ✝️

We lost another one of the real gospel preaching shepherds of his generation. He truly loved God with All his heart, soul, mind and strength. And what a compassionate heart, thoughtful soul and brilliant mind he had. Sadly his strength ran out, but he leaves a wonderful legacy and a treasure of sermons wise sheep can glean from. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Looking forward to meet the good and faithful servant, "... when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed... " 2 Thessalonians 1:10
