A.W. Tozer emphasizes in 'Christmas Is Real' that the birth of Christ
serves as a divine declaration to humanity, affirming the reality of God
and the spiritual essence of human life. He highlights that the Advent
of Christ confirms the truth of the prophets and the Scriptures,
illustrating that while humanity is lost, they are not abandoned, as
evidenced by the coming of the Savior. Tozer concludes that our
existence is not limited to this world, but we are destined for another,
reinforcing the hope and promise of eternal life.

CONTENT

The birth of Christ was a divine declaration, an eternal statement to a
race of fallen men and women. The Advent of Christ clearly established:
First, that God is real. The heavens were opened and another world than
this came into view. Second, that human life is essentially spiritual.
With the emergence into human flesh of the Eternal Word of the Father,
the fact of man's divine origin is confirmed. Third, that God indeed had
spoken by the prophets. The coming of the Messiah-Savior into the world
confirmed the veracity of the Old Testament Scripture. Fourth, that man
is lost but not abandoned. Had men not been lost no Savior would have
been required. Had they been abandoned no Savior would have come.

Finally, that this world is not the end.

We are made for two worlds and as surely as we now inhabit the one we
shall also inhabit the other!
