Reflections from A.W. Tozer

NOT READY FOR HEAVEN?

May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord. [Psalms 104:34]

I can safely say on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship in not ready for heaven.

No, I can almost hear someone saying, “Is Tozer getting away from justifications by faith?”

I assure you that Martin Luther never believed in justification by faith more strongly that I do. but now a days there is a deadly automatic quality about getting saved.

This bothers me greatly: “Sinner, just put a nickel’s worth of faith in the slot, pull down the lever and take out the little card of salvation.” Tuck in in your walled and off you go – a justified believer!

But really, my bother or sister, we are brought to God and to faith and to salvation that we might worship. We do not come to God that we might be automatic Christians stamped out with a die!

God has provided His salvation that we might be, individually and personally, vibrant children of God, loving God with all our hear and worshiping Him in the beauty of holiness.
