A.W. Tozer emphasizes that becoming a Christian is like the dawn of a
new day, where believers are called to experience a growing light in
their spiritual journey. He questions why there are distinctions in
spiritual maturity among Christians, referencing Jesus' teaching on
varying yields of fruitfulness. Tozer highlights the Apostle Paul's
pursuit of deeper knowledge of Christ and the superior resurrection,
suggesting that believers must actively seek and claim the spiritual
victories available to them. He encourages Christians to move beyond
average experiences and strive for a more profound relationship with
God.

The Bible tells us that when a person becomes a Christian, it is as
though the sun has come up and the day has dawned. Then his experience
along the path should be like the glowing light which shineth more and
more unto the perfect day! This brings us to a question: if all
Christians are alike in standing and state, why did Jesus point out
three distinctions in the Christian life-"some thirty, some sixty and
some a hundred fold"? If we are all alike and have all "arrived" at the
same place and state, why did the Apostle Paul tell the Philippian
Christians "I have suffered the loss of all things, that I may know Him
and if by any means, I might attain unto that superior resurrection"?

I am of the opinion that we cannot experience that which we have not
believed.

I still think we must instruct and urge men and women, toiling along in
average and common Christian ways, to move forward and claim spiritual
victory they have not yet known.
