- “I’ve been a Christian basically my whole life … It means more this year than it did last year, it means more this year than it did when I was 20. It’s almost a gift that grows sweeter with time. The more I read, the more I live, and the more it actually — I’m completely able to admit I’m a total, absolute sinner and I fall short from the grace of God.”
- “We have to get back to kind of what being saved means. It means that I was drowning in an ocean and I happened to get picked up by a lifeboat, and that’s about it. It’s not like I earned it or that I swam better than anyone else.”
- “Freedom is not sustainable if you remove religion … I’ll be even more specific, freedom is not sustainable if you remove Christianity.”
- “It defies reason to think that this is just a roll of the dice. When you see a baby come into the world, when you see how we naturally heal, when [you see] even consciousness itself — I think it is a pretty miraculous thing. To think that’s all just a bunch of happy accidents — I think it’s more rational to think that that’s a by-product of design.”
- “Jesus defeated death so you can live.”
- “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith in my life.”
- “Do I believe in a separation of morality and state? Of course not. Now, the morality that built the West is the Ten Commandments. … Those rules for life … when we do not submit to those ten commandments, our country starts to fall apart.”
- “Oh, Jesus saved my life. I’m a sinner. Gave my life to Christ. Most important decision I ever made.”
- “The Bible is not up to date. It’s ahead of time.”
- “The aim must be to guide people back to the church, to foster faith, to encourage marriage and family life. That’s the conservatism I embody, and I want to offer a vision that not only channels my frustrations but also uplifts others.”
- “We have to get back to kind of what being saved means.”
- “Freedom is not sustainable if you remove Christianity.”
- “It’s not like I earned [salvation] …” (from the lifeboat metaphor)
- From his memorial/funeral via speakers about his vision: “Charlie Kirk wanted a spiritual, not just a political revival.”
- Also from those speeches: “There is a God,” and as Charlie would say, “It is not us. We’re sinners saved only by grace in need of the gospel.”
