DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that true repentance cannot be forced upon sinful
and rebellious individuals, as the same message that leads one person to
repentance may provoke disdain in another. He reflects on the prophetic
warnings from both the Old and New Testaments regarding God's impending
judgment and the reality that not all will turn to God in repentance,
even in the face of dire consequences. Tozer highlights the tragic truth
that many will remain unrepentant despite witnessing God's power and
judgment, illustrating the deep divide in human responses to divine
truth.

CONTENT

There are many compelling lessons to be drawn from the Scriptures and
one of the clearest is that sinful and rebellious people can never be
forced into repentance. The same act that may cause one person to repent
and believe will cause others to hate and despise God! The same Bible
sermon that brings the person to tearful submission at an altar of
prayer will send others out with pride and a resolve to have their own
human way.

Students of the Scriptures are aware that the Old Testament prophets and
the writing apostles of New Testament times foresaw and proclaimed God's
coming day of judgment-the consummate settling of accounts between the
Sovereign God and his rebellious and sinful creation.

How desperately we would like to believe that in the face of coming
judgment, all lost men and women will cry out to God, but such will not
be the case: "The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues
still did not repent" (Revelation 9:20).
