The Law of Consequence

I am currently reading A. W. Tozers The Dangers of a Shallow Faith. The following is simply excerpts from it that really stuck with me.

• The human mind is always considering something; the path of least resistance is to consider other people's ways instead of our own. The Pharisees in the Bible were a class of people who knew the sins of everyone but themselves. The word of God asks us to consider our ways-look closely at them.

  
  

• What we are now will determine our destiny then-heaven or hell. I will add a saying I heard recently that says the same thing in a different way. "If you live a Christian life, you will die a Christian death. If you live a worldly life, you will die a worldly death.

• The act of accepting Christ, if it is a true act, has an instant effect upon our entire moral life, and it changes a man. When God saves a man, he saves him from his sin. He came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

• God only saves sinners who know and admit they are sinners; but he saves sinners and turns them from being sinners to being good men and full of the Holy Spirit.

• No man lives unto himself. Either directly or indirectly, you are deeply influencing somebody else. If you are a carelessly living Christian, there may be persons who will use your careless life as an excuse for theirs.
