Aiden Wilson Tozer Quotes

You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.

One day I was talking to Cora. She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.

Only sinners need saviors.

The preacher's work is to throw sinners down into utter helplessness that they may be compelled to look up to Him Who alone can help them.

A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord "went with them" and guided them into all truth.

A recovery of the old sense of sin is essential to Christianity. Christ takes it for granted that men are bad. Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed.

I am a weak and sinful man, but God put His hands on me, that is all.

Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.

God-fearing people, once they're saved from their sins, they don't mind talking about it.

I am an old sinner; and if God had designed mercy for me, he would have called me home to himself before now.

What I love to say when people ask me about being a Christian, I always say, 'Christians aren't perfect.' They're probably some of the worst people on the planet. They just know that they need Jesus. That's the only difference.

I am and always will be a sinner. But that's the beautiful thing about Jesus. I'll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I'm not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I'm holier than thou, 'cause I'm not!

To us sin has not become any less of a mystery or a pain.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

I am a believer in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.

Only the sinner has the right to preach.

There's lots of sins in this life. We're all sinners. If you don't believe in God and you don't believe in the scriptures, then we are on a different page.

I stand behind these words: I'm a Christian, but I'm not perfect.

Since I am as evil as can be, I do need religion to offset my evilness!

I was about to be a preacher, but I was a sinner.

I know I'm a sinner.

I am mindful that we're all sinners.
