A.W. Tozer emphasizes the dire state of humanity, highlighting our spiritual, moral, and physical ruin. He points out that while we are inherently unholy and unrighteous, our unhappiness is a lesser concern compared to the urgent need to seek God's favor and submit to the authority of Jesus Christ. Tozer warns that this pursuit may lead to conflict with the world and personal struggles, yet it is essential for true fulfillment. He encourages believers to prioritize their spiritual journey over temporary pleasures, recognizing the challenges that come with it.
