Towzer said that the church of his day was weak because it did not seek to know God in any depth. Our vision of God feeds our faith and our knowledge of him informs our wisdom. Often we worship a "god" formed in our own image and our prayers amount to self talk. We are not encountering the living God- the God of the Christian Bible.
What do we mean by the Living God? Jesus uses this phrase and it is powerful; God reveals himself as "I am who I am" to Moses and calls himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and in Jesus' mouth this name is our guarantee of eternal life as God is the God of the living and not the dead. When God revealed himself further to Moses he hid behind a rock incase he died. We are given insight here into who God is and who Jesus is.
We see in Jesus the perfection of God, who is alive, the Living God who brings us into the Holiest place so that we might know him.
It is to our eternal benefit that we seek the high calling to know God.
