True Prayer1

  • A.W. Tozer

    The Utilitarian Christ

    By A.W. Tozer
    0
    JOB 42:5

    A.W. Tozer addresses the misconception of Christ as a utilitarian figure, emphasizing that many have reduced Him to a mere tool for personal gain and success in trivial pursuits. He critiques the notion that Christ is invoked to assist in competitive sports, business dealings, or even morally questionable roles in entertainment, highlighting the danger of treating prayer as a means to manipulate divine power for selfish ends. Tozer calls for a deeper understanding of Christ's true nature, urging believers to approach Him with reverence and humility, recognizing His sovereignty rather than using Him for personal advantage.
