A.W. Tozer emphasizes the conflict between the inspiration of God's Word and human traditions, particularly in the context of early Christianity where Jewish traditions threatened to overshadow the gospel. He explains how the early church faced challenges from Jewish Christians who insisted on adhering to the oral laws and traditions, which often contradicted the teachings of Christ. Tozer argues that true righteousness comes from faith and the heart, rather than mere adherence to ceremonial laws. He warns against allowing traditions to dictate one's relationship with God, stressing that the motive behind actions is what truly matters. Ultimately, Tozer calls for a return to the purity of the gospel, free from the burdens of human traditions.
