A.W. Tozer emphasizes that true spiritual love for Jesus transcends human affection and can only be expressed through the Holy Spirit. He argues that while humans can love Jesus in a way similar to loving historical figures, this pales in comparison to the divine love that the Spirit enables. Tozer warns against superficial expressions of love that lack the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, asserting that genuine love for Christ must recognize Him as God. He critiques modern expressions of love for Jesus that do not stem from a deep spiritual understanding or acknowledgment of human sinfulness. Ultimately, Tozer calls for a love that honors Jesus as the Eternal Son, empowered by the Spirit within us.
