“Lo más que se puede decir de cualquier criatura es que cumplió el propósito para el cual Dios la creó”.—A. W. Tozer
¿Qué te impide ser todo lo que Dios quiere que seas? ¿Sigues aferrado a tus pecados pasados? ¿Te persiguen los recuerdos de tus fracasos espirituales? ¿O tal vez quieres mantener el control y no convertirte en uno de esos cristianos “fanáticos”?
Dile al diablo: “¡Escrito está!”
A. W. Tozer afirma que: “Uno de los trucos más antiguos y preferidos del diablo es desanimar a los santos, haciendo que piensen en lo que fueron”. En efecto, Satanás —durante mucho tiempo— ha estado en eso de intimidar y engañar al pueblo de Dios. El propio Tozer sufrió el ataque del diablo mientras preparaba los sermones que recopilados en este libro.
Sin embargo, a medida que avanzamos hacia la madurez en Cristo, nos armamos con una gran fuerza para enfrentarnos al gran adversario. Podemos plantarle cara al diablo y gritarle:
“¡Soy hijo de Dios! No toleraré más tus ataques. Te recuerdo que el perdón y la purificación que he recibido gratuitamente vienen de Jesucristo”.
Puedes responderle al diablo, pero ¿lo harás?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"The highest that can be said of any creature is that it fulfilled the purpose for which God made it." — A. W. Tozer
What is holding you back from being all God wants you to be? Are you still holding on to past sins? Do memories of your spiritual failures haunt you? Or maybe you want to stay in control and not become one of those "fanatical" Christians?
Tozer says, "It is one of the devil's oldest tricks to discourage the saints by causing them to look back at what they were." Indeed, Satan has been in the business of intimidating and deceiving the people of God for a very long time. Tozer himself felt attacked by the devil even as he prepared the sermons distilled into this book.
But as we press toward maturity in Christ, we are armed with great strength to engage in battle with that great Adversary. We can stand up to the Devil and shout "I am a child of God! I will not take this any longer, and I remind you that the forgiveness and cleansing I have freely received comes from Jesus Christ!"
You can talk back to the Devil, but will you?
