======================================================================== LIVING WITH ETERNITY'S VALUES IN VIEW by A.W. Tozer ======================================================================== Summary: A spiritual person makes eternity-judgments, prioritizing usefulness and service over earthly concerns and fame. Topics: "Eternal Perspective", "Spiritual Growth" Scripture References: Colossians 3:2, Hebrews 12:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A.W. Tozer emphasizes the importance of living with an eternal perspective, where the spiritual man prioritizes eternity over temporal concerns. He describes how such individuals rise above earthly distractions and align their thoughts and actions with heavenly values, seeking usefulness and service rather than fame and recognition. This transformation is only possible through the work of the Holy Spirit, as no one can achieve spiritual growth on their own. Tozer encourages believers to cultivate a mindset that reflects their eternal destiny and the community of saints in heaven. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time- judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/aw-tozer/living-with-eternitys-values-in-view/ ========================================================================
