Tozer: the wonders of His Word

Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209
Meditation:
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
—Romans 3:20 (KJV)

Quotation:
The doctrine of justification by faith—a Biblical truth, and a blessed relief from sterile legalism and unavailing self-effort—has in our times fallen into evil company and has been interpreted by many in such a manner as actually to bar men from the knowledge of God. The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be “received” without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is “saved,” but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little.
The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.
... A. W. Tozer (1897-1963), The Pursuit of God [1948], Christian Publications, 1982, p. 12 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, loose Your Spirit among all those whose faith is still shallow.
