Tozer emphasizes that true Christians, who genuinely love and trust Jesus Christ, must renounce the world and adopt Christ as their model for living. He points out that many believers desire comfort and peace but shy away from the radical commitment required to follow Christ fully. Tozer asserts that the world cannot fulfill its promises, and thus, a true disciple seeks to be conformed to the image of Christ, who serves as the perfect example. This longing for transformation is central to the Christian experience, driving believers to pursue a life that reflects Christ's character.

Tozer emphasizes that the world is lost and confused, lacking direction and purpose, which is why Jesus came to offer salvation. He calls for a radical adjustment to the Jesus way, urging believers to reject worldly philosophies and fully trust in Christ. This transformation requires a complete renunciation of societal norms and a commitment to a new way of life that many find challenging. Tozer highlights that while people desire comfort and peace, they often shy away from the revolutionary change that true discipleship demands. Ultimately, he encourages a bold and uncompromising faith in Jesus as the only path to true fulfillment.
