A.W. Tozer emphasizes the radical nature of the cross of Christ, asserting that it represents a complete and uncompromising transformation in the lives of believers. He explains that the cross, which initially brought death to Christ, also signifies the end of the old life for every true follower, leading to a new life empowered by God. Tozer warns against the modern tendency to trivialize the cross, turning it into a mere symbol rather than recognizing its profound power to change lives. He calls for a return to the original message of the cross, which demands self-denial and total submission to Christ. Ultimately, Tozer argues that true Christianity requires embracing the cross, leading to a radical reformation in the Church's understanding and practice.
