CHRIST CAME TO SAVE

By A. W. Tozer

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn
the world. ---  John 3:17
 

  Millions who have rejected the Christian gospel have
generally  been  too  busy  and  too  involved  to  ask
themselves a simple question:  "What really is God's
intention toward me?"

    They could have found the plain and simple answer
given by the Apostle John:  "For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved."

    This is a gravely significant message from the heart of
God Himself!  Yet, even in the full light it provides, people
are indifferent.  Upon our eyes there seems to have fallen a
strange dimness; within our ears, a strange dullness.  It is
a wonder, and a terrible responsibility, that we should have
this message in our possession and be so little stirred about it!

    I confess that it is very hard for me to accept the fact
that it is now very rare for anyone to come into the house
of God, silently confessing:  "Dear Lord, I am ready and
willing to hear what you will speak to me today!"
