DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that while the full mystery of the Godhead is
beyond human comprehension, all that can be known of God is revealed
through Jesus Christ. He highlights the Apostle Paul's desire for a
personal and experiential knowledge of God, rather than mere
intellectual understanding. Tozer points out that many seek a deeper
Christian life but often overlook the importance of knowing and loving
God for who He is. He asserts that Jesus Christ embodies the deeper
life, and as one grows in knowledge of the triune God, they experience a
profound fellowship that leads to spiritual deepening and strength.
Ultimately, this journey results in less of oneself and more of God in
one's life.

Certainly not all of the mystery of the Godhead can be known by man-but
just as certainly, all that men can know of God in this life is revealed
in Jesus Christ! When the Apostle Paul said with yearning, "That I may
know Him," he was not speaking of intellectual knowledge. Paul was
speaking of the reality of an experience of knowing God personally and
consciously, spirit touching spirit and heart touching heart. We know
that people spend a lot of time talking about a deeper Christian life-
but few seem to want to know and love God for Himself. The precious fact
is that God is the deeper life!

Jesus Christ Himself is the deeper life, and as I plunge on into the
knowledge of the triune God, my heart moves on into the blessedness of
His fellowship.

This means that there is less of me and more of God-thus my spiritual
life deepens and I am strengthened in the knowledge of His will!
