Obedience to Christ: Striving For the Greatest Wisdom of All

"Sin is never a thing to be proud of. No act is wise that ignores remote consequences, and sin always does. How wise is the man who has made the God of Jacob his hope and has taken refuge in the Rock of Ages!" - A. W. Tozer

Obedience. The word we don't want to hear, and we'd much rather not talk about.

And yet, it is the heart of the Christian life.

Salvation and obedience, Saviour and Lord-two sides of the same coin. To receive Christ as Saviour is to submit to Him without regard of the consequences.

The world would call it foolishness. Tozer, however, thinks it the greatest wisdom of all.

If all of eternity exists before us, and our singular earthly life determines the nature of our life in the next, what grave danger are we win, if we persist in digging, shovelling, working, so hard, to get a reward that will surely burn when Christ comes?

In Obedience to Christ, Tozer attempts to breathe heaven into our lungs.
