To many Americans, Charlie Kirk was a political voice — a conservative who relished the general public debate. But to those that knew him well and followed his profession, he was a loyal Christian who not only believed the Bible but promoted its truths as vital for society.
Just 4 days before he was assassinated, Kirk wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Jesus defeated death so you possibly can live.”
Here are nine inspiring Charlie Kirk quotes about Jesus, faith, and the Bible.
Charlie Kirk, 2024, during an interview with Russell Brand.
“I mean, I’m nothing without Jesus. I’m a sinner. I fall incredibly in need of the glory of God. We all do. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, and it’s an important decision I’ve ever made, and all the pieces I do incorporates Jesus Christ.”
Charlie Kirk, 2025, when discussing his belief within the Bible to Bill Maher, a skeptic.
“In China and, after all, within the Soviet Union, there was an anti-Christian movement. Very hardcore. …What book do you think that is best for humanity to live by? I say the Bible. … The entire arc of the Bible is a story of affection and a necessity for humanity’s redemption. …The Bible has wisdom in ways you may not ever imagine. …Humanity will seek to search out a book, they’ll seek to search out a code to live by. And I feel it’s incumbent upon atheists to inform us what that must be.”
Charlie Kirk, April 2025.
“The mechanisms of a spiritual society [are] good for everyone. When any person walks around and thinks that you just were created and that you just’re not God, you are likely to have higher residents.”
Charlie Kirk, 2025, during a debate with an atheist.
“I might argue you will have so much more faith than I do. You have so much more blind faith to consider that all the pieces around you, love, joy, peace, sadness, is all only a construct of neurons firing in your brain. …We as Christians have hope that we’re going to see our family members again and that we shall be in heaven and that we shall be in perfect peace and that this just isn’t it. In fact, there’s something even higher awaiting us.”
Charlie Kirk, 2025, discussing his fascination with the bible in an interview with Bill Maher, a skeptic.
“The biggest minds of history have been mesmerized by the Scriptures — Isaac Newton, Thomas Aquinas. Isaac Newton wrote more about biblical prophecy than even physics. And so there’s something concerning the Scriptures which are mental, that does push your limits. And that is what I feel is so beautiful about our faith is it may well be accessible to everyone, but additionally infinitely nourishing in exploration.”
Charlie Kirk, 2025, when discussing his goal of conservatism. Kirk made the comments in an interview with the Deseret News.
“You should attempt to point them toward ultimate purposes and toward getting back to the church, getting back to faith, getting married, having children. That is the style of conservatism that I represent, and I’m attempting to paint an image of virtue, of lifting people up, not only staying indignant.”
Charlie Kirk, 2025, when discussing his belief in God to Bill Maher, a skeptic.
“It defies reason to think that that is only a roll of the dice. When you see a baby come into the world, once you see how we naturally heal, once you [see] even consciousness itself — I feel it’s a fairly miraculous thing. To think that is all only a bunch of pleased accidents — I feel it’s more rational to think that that is a byproduct of design.”
Charlie Kirk, Sept 6, 2025, 4 days before he was assassinated.
