Anything short of complete devotion to Christ is inadequate and must end in futility and loss.- A. W. TozerThere is no receiving Christ without the Cross, no receiving Christianity without surrender, no receiving God without full obedience.Christianity has been watered down a cheap, inferior substitute of what God means for it to be. The idea of 'accepting' Jesus has shifted from revolutionary attachment to an impulsive decision, painless and without cost-and with no concept of discipleship.The choice for anyone who claims to be a Christian is simple. Actually, there is no choice, says Tozer in True Discipleship. A Christian follows Christ. There is no alternative.The purpose of redemption was to restore mankind to its former closeness with God. The goal of every Christian must be an increasingly intimate acquaintance with Him.We must recapture the hope of His returning, and that hope must lift our lives beyond the earthly. With God as our refuge and the source of our strength, and with our eyes on our heavenly future and the promise of Christ's coming, we must yearn to please our Savior and Lord.

"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. TozerObedience. 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.
