Aiden Wilson Tozer accomplish trying jesus Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation.

He knew better than any other man, but He maintained a charitable attitude toward them. Aiden Wilson Tozer attitude men jesus If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice.

Aiden Wilson Tozer sacrifice easter jesus We must like Moses cover ourselves with faith and humility while we steal a quick look at the God whom no man can see and live.
