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

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that the Bible is a life-giving book, designed to
guide humanity towards understanding God's mercy, the importance of
faith, and the need for trust in our Heavenly Father. He explains that
the scriptures serve to remind us of our frailty, warn us of the dangers
of sin, and prepare us for eternal life in heaven. The Bible's teachings
are not merely for intellectual curiosity but are meant to lead us away
from destruction and towards divine grace. Through its stories and
lessons, we are encouraged to reflect on our faults and seek
deliverance. Ultimately, the Bible is a beacon of hope and guidance for
our spiritual journey.

The Bible is a life-bringing and a life-giving book. It is not primarily
concerned with any department of human thought for its own sake. If the
Bible speaks about the rainbow, it is that we may be reminded of God?s
covenant of mercy with mankind. If it tells the story of Abraham, it
does so that we may learn to know the place of faith in our relation to
God. If it points us to the moon and the stars, it is that we may know
now frail we are. If it talks about the birds, it is to teach us to
trust our Heavenly Father without fear or doubting. It tells us about
hell not to satisfy our morbid curiosity, but that we may steer our feet
far from its terrors.

It tells us about heaven that we may be prepared to enter there.

It writes the history of human disgrace that we may learn the value of
divine grace. It warns in order that it may turn our feet away from the
paths that go down to the path of destruction. It rebukes in order that
we may see our own faults and be delivered from them.
