A.W. Tozer emphasizes that knowing God transcends mere intellectual understanding; it is an experiential awareness of Him that engages the soul. He argues that while the intellect plays a role in understanding biblical revelation, true knowledge of God comes through the Holy Spirit illuminating the heart of the penitent. This journey begins with an appeal to reason but culminates in a spiritual experience that surpasses rational thought. Tozer encourages believers to seek a deeper, more intimate relationship with God that goes beyond academic knowledge.
