A Thought from A.W. Tozer

A Thought from A.W. Tozer

I like to read Tozer's writings. This is an excerpt from his article, "To be Understood, Truth Must be Lived":

"At what point, then, does a theological fact become for the one who holds it a truth? At the point where obedience begins. ...Theological facts are like the altar of Elijah on Carmel before the fire came, correct, properly laid out, but altogether cold. When the heart makes the ultimate surrender, the fire falls and true facts are transmuted into spiritual truth that transforms, enlightens, sanctifies."

The reason why we must be doers, and not hearers only, of the Word of God. Before I read this, I never thought of truth in that way.
