A.W. Tozer emphasizes that all life originates from God, who is not a
distant creator but the very essence of life itself. He explains that
the miracle of life is a continuous flow from God, who is the
fountainhead of existence, and that eternal life is not merely a gift
but God's very being. Tozer asserts that the regeneration of believers
is a continuation of God's creative work, demonstrating that redemption
is part of His ongoing purpose rather than a separate act. This
understanding invites believers to recognize their connection to God as
the source of all life and vitality.

Without doubt, we have suffered the loss of many spiritual treasures
because we have let slip the simple truth that the miracle of the
perpetuation of life is in God! Be assured that God did not create life
and toss it from Him like some petulant artist disappointed with his
work. All life is in Him and out of Him, flowing from Him and returning
to Him again, a moving indivisible sea of which He is the fountainhead.
That eternal life which was with the Father is now the possession of
believing men and women, and that life is not God's gift only-but His
very Self!

The regeneration of a believing soul is but a recapitulation of all His
work done from the moment of creation.

So, redemption is not a strange work which God for a moment turned aside
to do: rather it is His same work performed in a new field, the field of
human catastrophe!
