Written by A. W. Tozer (1897-1963), a pastor, author, magazine editor, and spiritual mentor. This is an excerpt from his book “The Knowledge of the Holy.”
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God…That our idea of God correspond as nearly as possible to the true being of God is of immense importance to us…Our real idea of God may lie buried under the rubbish of conventional religious notions and may require an intelligent and vigorous search before it is finally unearthed and exposed for what it is. Only after an ordeal of painful self-probing are we likely to discover what we actually believe about God…Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. [2 Peter 3:18]
