Divine Humility

Summary

The story of pity, mercy, and redeeming love is all here in two words: “He came.”

- A. W. Tozer

The Christian view of life is that we are living in the shadow of a crisis made by mankind, caused by his spurious rejection of God.

And that God comes, with unfathomable humility, as Man to fix it.

In Divine Humility, Tozer, a revered preacher, puts forth the foundational ideas of redemption:

• Humanity was created for a supreme and glorious purpose by its Creator

• We rebelled against that divine purpose

• This rejection caused a deep rift to open up between Creator and creature, a rift we could not hope to breach

• God, in indescribable mercy and grace, took our punishment upon Himself in the Incarnation

• The only appropriate response for any sinful man is to receive this gift and begin a right relationship with his Maker.
