SPIRITUAL CONFIRMATION

By A. W. Tozer
 

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance
of faith.                                     -- Hebrews 10:22
 

       The human personality has a right to be consciously
aware of a meeting with God. There will be a spiritual
confirmation, an inward knowledge or witness!

       This kind of confirmation and witness was taught and
treasured by the great souls throughout the ages.

       Conscious awareness of the presence of God! I defy
any theologian or teacher to take that away from the
believing church of Jesus Christ!

       But be assured they will try. And I refer not just to the
liberal  teachers.  God  has  given  us  the  Bible  for  a
reason-so it can lead us to meet God in Jesus Christ, in a
clear, sharp encounter that will bum on in our hearts
forever and ever.

       When the Bible has led us to God and we have
experienced God in the crisis of encounter, then the Bible
has done its first work. That it will continue to do God's
work in our Christian lives should be evident!
