Suffering and Sanctification

Suffering and Sanctification1

  • A.W. Tozer

    Those Sanctifying Effects of Suffering

    By A.W. Tozer
    0
    PHP 3:7

    A.W. Tozer emphasizes that the concept of 'Instant Christianity' undermines the dynamic nature of the Christian faith, which requires ongoing growth and development akin to a living organism. He argues that true faith involves a continuous relationship with God, necessitating spiritual nourishment, exercise, and the acceptance of suffering as a means of sanctification. Tozer critiques the tendency to reduce salvation to a single experience, warning that this leads to spiritual stagnation and disappointment. He highlights the importance of forming right habits, engaging in spiritual training, and actively resisting worldly temptations. Ultimately, Tozer questions whether modern interpretations of faith align with the deeper, sacrificial commitment exemplified by the Apostle Paul.
