GIVE GOD THE CONTROL

    By A. W. Tozer

 

    Make me to go in the path of thy commandments,

    for therein do I delight.                Psalm 119:35

        I know that I am being repetitious---but this needs to be

    said again and again: our Lord will not save those whom

    He cannot command!

 

        The lifetime God has given us down here is a lifetime of

    decisions.  Each person makes his own decisions as to the

    eternal world he is going to inhabit.  We must decide to

    take Jesus for what He is---the anointed Savior and Lord

    who is King of kings and Lord of all lords!

        He would not be who He is, if He saved us and called us

    without the understanding, that He can also guide us and

    control our lives.

        The root of sin is rebellion against God, and hell is the

    Alcatraz for the unconstituted rebels who refuse to

    surrender to the will of God.

        There are many arguments about the reality of hell.  A

    man might endure fire and brimstone and worms---but

    the essence of hell and judgment for a moral creature is to

    know and be conscious that he is where he is because he

    is a rebel!

 

        Hell will be the eternal domain of all the disobedient

    rebels who have said, "I owe God nothing!"
