God's Faithful Voice
The voice of God is a quiet, constant, and loving voice that calls wandering sinners home and brings them to spiritual birth.
A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgency of heeding God's faithful voice amidst impending judgments on the earth. He points out that many, including believers, often ignore the quiet yet constant call of God's love and grace, mistakenly believing they will have time to respond later. Tozer highlights that God has consistently sent messengers throughout generations, including prophets, preachers, and transformed individuals, to convey His message of salvation. The sermon serves as a reminder that the time to listen and respond to God's voice is now, as it may soon be too late for many. Ultimately, it is the Savior's call to wandering sinners that resonates most profoundly in this day of grace.
Text
In a day when judgments are soon to come upon the earth, we are often warned by doctors that we eat too much-and that we worry too much. More of us suffer from mental illness than suffer from major physical illnesses. In our self-centered lives, even those who are professing believers are prone to think they will hear the trumpets of woe in time to do something about all this. But at that time, it will be too late! The voice of God is a quiet voice. The voice of God's love and grace is constant-never strident, never compulsive. God has sent His messengers to every generation.
He has spoken urgently and faithfully through His prophets; through the concerns of preachers and evangelists; even through the sweet voices of the gospel singers.
Further, God has spoken through witnessing men and women: plain, sincere, loving men and women transformed by a spiritual birth which is from above. This is the voice of God we hear in this day of grace-the voice of the Savior calling wandering sinners home.
