“The truth is that time has no more power to sanctify a man than space has. Indeed, time is only a fiction by which we account for change. It is change, not time, that turns fools into wise men and sinners into saints. Or more accurately, it is Christ who does the whole thing by means of the changes He works in the heart.”
- A.W. Tozer,
“God is spirit, and to Him magnitude and distance have no meaning. To us they are useful as analogies and illustrations, so God refers to them constantly when speaking down to our limited understanding. The words of God as found in Isaiah, ”Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,” give a distinct impression of altitude, but that is because we who dwell in a world of matter, space, and time tend to think in material terms and can grasp abstract ideas only when they are identified in some way with material things. In its struggle to free itself from the tyranny of the natural world, the human heart must learn to translate upward the language the Spirit uses to instruct us.”
- A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of The Holy
Pure real love and and dignity are not found inthe pretended artifice, real hope and joy is only found inlife set aside for his service, performance religion can only frustrate,as does poltics and human effort with it;s self centered ambitions. Grace sets us free from those frustrations .
John 13-17 Kj3 translation.
