"RESTORING THE LOST SOUL
TO INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD"
By A. W. Tozer
Walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom
and glory. - 1 Thessalonians 2:12
Contrary to much that is being said and practiced in
churches, true worship is not something that we "do" in
the hope of appearing to be religious!True worship must be a constant and consistent attitude
or state of mind within the believer, a sustained and
blessed acknowledgement of love and admiration. If we
have this awareness in our own lives and experience, then
it is evident that we are not just waiting for Sunday to
come to church and worship.Having been made in His image, we have within us the
capacity to know God and the instinct that we should
worship Him. The very moment that the Spirit of God has
quickened us to His life in regeneration, our whole being
senses its kinship to God and leaps up in joyous
recognition!That response within our beings, a response to the
forgiveness and pardon and regeneration, signals the
miracle of the heavenly birth-without which we cannot
see the kingdom of God. Thus the primary work of the
Holy Spirit is to restore the lost soul to intimate
fellowship with God through the washing of
regeneration.
