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

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that knowing God requires glorifying Him and being
thankful, warning against the folly of exchanging God's glory for
corruptible images. He highlights the darkness that ensues when people
reject the truth of God, leading to moral decay and a desperate need for
mercy. Tozer asserts that true knowledge of God and the ability to live
righteously comes only through Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth,
and the life. The sermon calls for a deep appreciation of Christ's role
in revealing God and guiding us towards a life that pleases Him.

When they knew God, they glorified him not as God, read the terrible
words, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and
their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an
image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts,
and creeping things . . . who changed the truth of God into a lie.

On and on the devastating words flow, mounting in intensity till no one
with any conscience left or any fear of moral consequences can stand to
look the Judge in the face, but must cast down his guilty eyes and cry,
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according
to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Apart from the Scriptures we have no sure philosophy; apart from Jesus
Christ we have no true knowledge of God; apart from the inliving Spirit
we have no ability to live lives morally pleasing to God. How wonderful
that Christ could say, I am the way, the truth, and the life. For this
we can never be thankful enough.
