The story of pity and mercy and redeeming love are 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, 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.
