Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
His words are the essence of truth...Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed; He knew, and He knows.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not quite forgotten among Christians, but it has been relegated to the hymnal where all responsibility toward it may be comfortably discharged in a glow of religious emotion. Or if it is taught as a theory in the classroom it is rarely applied to practical living. The idea that the Man Christ Jesus has absolute final authority over the whole church and over its members in every detail of their lives is simply not now accepted as true by the rank and file of evangelical Christians.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
I accomplish more when I rest wholly in the labor of Jesus than I do when I frantically try to do the work for Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
To men and women everywhere Jesus says, "Come unto me, and I will give you rest." The rest He offers is the rest of meekness, the blessed relief which comes when we accept ourselves for what we are and cease to pretend.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus Christ left us an example for our daily conduct. He felt no bitter resentment and He held no grudge against anyone! Even those who crucified Him were forgiven while they were in the act. Not a word did He utter against them nor against the ones who stirred them up to destroy Him. How evil they all were. He knew better than any other man, but He maintained a charitable attitude toward them.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The atonement in Jesus Christ's blood is perfect; there isn't anything that can be added to it. It is spotless, impeccable, flawless. It is perfect as God is perfect.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have full confidence in Jesus Christ. Our confidence rises as the character of God becomes greater and more trustworthy to our spiritual comprehension. The One with whom we deal is the One who embodies faithfulness and truth-the One who cannot lie.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus our Lord is Prophet, Priest, and King. The concept is not new, yet many preachers never preach it, and many congregations never hear it.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
One thing the young Christian should be taught as quickly as possible after his conversion is that Jesus Christ is all he needs.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God. Believing, then, is directing the hearts' attention to Jesus. It is lifting the mind to 'behold the Lamb of God,' and never ceasing that beholding for the rest of our lives.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
You know, we'll hardly get our feet out of time [and] into eternity that we'll bow our heads in shame and humiliation. We'll gaze on eternity and say, 'My God! Look at all the riches there were in Jesus Christ, and I've come to the Judgment Seat almost a pauper!
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Shall it be a religion or shall it be Christ? Shall it be churchianity or shall it be Jesus Christ? Shall it be pride or shall it be humility in Jesus Christ?
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can take whatever path in worship we choose, but not all paths will end at the feet of Jesus.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God wants us to make Jesus Christ the central figure in our church--not just say that we do, but actually do it.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you. And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us....
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Artificiality is one curse that will drop away the moment we kneel at Jesus' feet and surrender ourselves to His meekness. Then we will not care what people think of us so long as God is pleased. Then what we are will be everything; what we appear will take its place far down the scale of interest for us. Apart from sin we have nothing of which to be ashamed. Only an evil desire to shine makes us want to appear other than we are.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God's kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No--Jesus died because God is showing mercy. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God's mercy is boundless, free and, through Jesus Christ our Lord, available to us now in our present situation.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The greatest encouragement throughout the Bible is God's love for His lost race and the willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show forth that love in God's plan of redemption. The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows no boundaries. At the point where we stop caring and loving, Jesus is still there loving and caring
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us, yet if we withhold ourselves from that blood, we will be unclean forever.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Universal Presence is a fact. God is here. And He is no strange or foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who love has for thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men. And always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us. We have within us the ability to know Him if we will but respond to His overtures.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
If I am to wholly follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I must forsake everything that is contrary to Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Keep your heart with all diligence and God will take care of the universe.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only.
