The only sin Jesus ever had was ours, and the only righteousness we can ever have is His.

Sensitive to the Lord’s presence – AW Tozer
Do you find your own heart sensitive to the Lord’s presence, or are you among those who are “samplers” and “nibblers”? God help you if you are, for the child of the King isn’t a sampler and a nibbler—he’s a sheep who loves his Shepherd, and he stays close to his Shepherd. That’s the only safe place for a sheep—at the Shepherd’s side, because the devil doesn’t fear sheep—he just fears the Shepherd. Your spiritual safety and well-being lies in being near to the Shepherd. Stay close to Jesus and all of the wolves in the world cannot get a tooth in you.

Moral Freedom – AW Tozer
A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

Giving up rebellion – AW Tozer
The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.

Meekness is His method – AW Tozer
Jesus calls us to His rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.
