A.W. Tozer emphasizes the necessity of a profound and exclusive attachment to Christ for true salvation, warning against the casual and painless approaches to soul winning that lack depth and understanding. He argues that many who superficially 'accept' Christ do so without a genuine commitment, equating it to accepting any other figure for convenience. Tozer insists that a true relationship with Jesus requires a revolutionary transformation where He becomes the central focus of one's life, demanding complete devotion and surrender.

I am not in the business of trying to downgrade any other believer's efforts to win souls. I am just of the opinion that we are often too casual and there are too many tricks that can be used to make soul winning encounters completely "painless" and at "no cost" and without any "inconvenience." Some of the unsaved with whom we deal on the "quick and easy" basis have such little preparation and are so ignorant of the plan of salvation that they would be willing to bow their heads and "accept" Buddha or Zoroaster if they thought they could get rid of us in that way. To "accept Christ" in anything like a saving relationship is to have an attachment to the Person of Christ that is revolutionary, complete and exclusive! It is more than joining some group that you like. It is more than having enjoyable social fellowship with other nice people. You give your heart and life and soul to Jesus Christ-and He becomes the center of your transformed life!
