======================================================================== GOD IS SOVEREIGN by A.W. Tozer ======================================================================== Summary: The sermon emphasizes the importance of believing in God's sovereignty and the union of the divine and human natures in Christ. Topics: "God's Sovereignty", "Theanthropism" Scripture References: Psalm 115:3, Isaiah 46:10, Romans 8:28, Colossians 1:16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A.W. Tozer emphasizes the glory and sovereignty of God, urging believers to recognize His attributes and the importance of worshiping Him. He expresses a desire for new converts to grasp the majesty of God, which would ignite a deep yearning to honor Him. Tozer points out that many discouraged Christians struggle with the concept of God's sovereignty, which hinders their ability to follow Christ humbly and trustingly. He introduces the concept of 'theanthropism,' highlighting the profound mystery of the divine and human natures united in Jesus Christ. This union is central to understanding our relationship with God and the nature of our worship. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oh, how I wish that I could adequately set forth the glory of the One who is worthy to be the object of our worship! I do believe that if our new converts-the babes in Christ-could be made to see His thousand attributes and even partially comprehend His being, they would become faint with a yearning desire to worship and honor and acknowledge Him, now and forever! I know that many discouraged Christians do not truly believe in God's sovereignty. In that case, we are not filling our role as the humble and trusting followers of God and His Christ. And yet, that is why Christ came into our world. The old theologians called it "theanthropism" - the union of the divine and human natures in Christ. This is a great mystery and I stand in awe before it! The theanthropy is the mystery of God and man united in one Person-not two persons but two natures. So, the nature of God and the nature of man are united in this One who is our Lord Jesus Christ! ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/aw-tozer/god-is-sovereign/ ========================================================================
