A.W. Tozer discusses the concept of spiritual balance, emphasizing that humanity has lost its symmetry and often lives in moral imbalance. He notes that various philosophies have sought to address this issue through the idea of the 'golden mean,' but Christianity offers a transformative new life rather than just a philosophy. The Christian journey involves a struggle between the desire for holiness and the remnants of the sinful nature, leading to a unique distress for the regenerate individual. Tozer highlights that this internal conflict is a reality for those who are being conformed to the likeness of Christ, as illustrated by Paul's reflections in Romans 7.
