In this episode, we dive deep into Chapter 17 of A.W. Tozer’s classic work The Knowledge of the Holy, exploring the often misunderstood and rarely celebrated attribute of God’s justice. What does it mean to say that God is just—not just fair by human standards, but perfectly righteous in all His judgments? Why does Tozer insist that justice is not in conflict with God's love but flows directly from His holiness?
We wrestle with tough questions like:
- How can a loving God also be a God of wrath?
- Why is it essential to understand God's justice in the context of the cross?
- What happens when the Church neglects the fear of the Lord and dilutes God's justice in favor of cultural acceptance?
Tozer pulls no punches, and neither do we. This conversation will challenge the way you see God—and may upend some comfortable assumptions. But in that shaking, there is truth. And in that truth, there is freedom.
Key Quote from Tozer:
“Justice, when used of God, is a name we give to the way God is, nothing more; and when God acts justly He is not doing so to conform to an independent criterion, but simply acting like Himself in a given situation.”
Join us as we discuss what it means to trust in a God whose justice is perfect, unchanging, and worthy of our awe.
