A MORAL PRONOUNCEMENT

                 By A. W. Tozer

              Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path . . . I will keep thy righteous judgments.   Psalm 119:105-106

                  What is God saying to His human creation in our day
              and time?

                  In brief, He is saying, "Jesus Christ is My beloved Son.
              Hear Him!"

                  Why is there rejection? Why do men and women
              fail to listen?

                  Because  God's  message  in  Jesus  is  a  moral
              pronouncement.  Men and women do not wish to be
              under the authority of the moral Word of God!

                  For centuries, God spoke in many ways. He inspired
              holy men to write portions of the message in a book.
              People do not like it, so they try their best to avoid it
              because God has made it the final test of all morality, the final test of all Christian ethics.

                  God, being one in His nature, is always able to say the
              same thing  to  everyone  who  hears  Him.  Christian
              believers must know that any understanding of the Word
              of God must come from the same Spirit who provided the
              inspiration!
