Hristos, Fiul etern

by A.W. Tozer

Gloria Lui sta in faptul ca El era dragoste desavarsita intr-o lume lipsita de dragoste; ca El era curatie desavarsita intr-o lume necurata; ca El era blandete desavarsita intr-o lume aspra si artagoasa. El era smerenie desavarsita intr-o lume in care fiecare om isi cauta propriul interes. Era mila nemarginita si de neinteles intr-o lume cruda si nemiloasa. El era in intregime bunatate dezinteresata intr-o lume plina de egoism. Ceea ce a facut El a fost minunat; ce a spus si a invatat a fost extraordinar; insa ceea ce era, Cuvantul vesnic intrupat, a incoronat tot ce a facut si a spus.

As vrea mai degraba sa imi pierd un picior si sa schiopatez tot restul vietii, decat sa imi pierd sensibilitatea fata de Dumnezeu, fata de glasul Lui si fata de lucrurile spirituale. Oh, vreau sa pastrez lucrul acesta in mine, in sufletul meu!

Aceasta este tragedia omenirii, fratii mei! Noi L-am respins din inimile noastre, fiindca vrem neaparat sa facem ce vrem noi.

Orice lucru este gresit pana cand Isus nu il pune in ordine!

About the author

Aiden Wilson Tozer was an American evangelical pastor, speaker, writer, and editor. After coming to Christ at the age of seventeen, Tozer found his way into the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination where he served for over forty years. In 1950, he was appointed by the denomination's General Council to be the editor of "The Alliance Witness" (now "Alliance Life").

Born into poverty in western Pennsylvania in 1897, Tozer died in May 1963 a self-educated man who had taught himself what he missed in high school and college due to his home situation. Though he wrote many books, two of them, "The Pursuit of God" and "The Knowledge of the Holy" are widely considered to be classics.

A.W. Tozer and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, had seven children, six boys and one girl.

Reviews

[Ed · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a real blessing to read through this book. I especially liked chapters 4 (Eternity in Man's Heart). chapter 5 (The Redemptive Plan) which is the best sermon I have ever heard on John 3:16, and chapter 10 (The Gift of Eternal Life) which is a real challenge to the Soul Winner to see if he is presenting the plan of salvation right or wrong. I examined my own salvation, and it gave me assurance that I really am saved. The unsaved need to read chapter 5 and the saved need to read chapter 10.

Great reading

You will know the value of our salvation and worship the eternal Son!
A book full of wonderful knowledge of the saviour!

[Lamain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely a solid Tozer read. I was also reading the Gospel of John, so that aided in catching Tozer’s enthusiasm for the Christian’s growth.

De ce este o asemenea indiferență apatică, de ce este o apatie incredibilă față de o proclamare așa de impresionantă a celor mai bune intenții ale lui Dumnezeu pentru noi?
