Our Union with Christ

by Martyn Lloyd-Jones In this sermon, Dr, Martyn Lloyd Jones states that “The union of the believer with Christ is one of the most glorious doctrines of the Christian faith.” The Doctor teaches what it means to be permanently, irrevocably united with Christ. Christians are now partakers of the divine nature, complete through His priestly work. Their relationship with God is personal and individual. In our consideration of the work of the Holy Spirit in the application of redemption, the redemption that has been worked out and purchased by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we have arrived now at a consideration of the doctrine of the union of the believer with the Lord Jesus Christ. I was at pains in introducing this doctrine last Friday evening to emphasize the fact that it is a doctrine which of necessity must be taken always in conjunction with the doctrine of regeneration . The two things are in a sense almost simultaneous. Logically, the union should be put first, b...

Egyesülésünk Krisztussal

Martyn Lloyd-Jones prédikációja Ebben a prédikációban Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones azt állítja: „A hívő és Krisztus közötti egyesülés a keresztény hit egyik legdicsőségesebb tanítása.” Dr Lloyd Jones kifejti, mit jelent az, hogy valaki tartósan és vissza­vonhatatlanul egyesül Krisztussal. A keresztények immár részesülnek az isteni természetben, amely az Úr papi munkáján keresztül vált teljessé. Kapcsolatuk Istennel személyes és egyéni. A Szent Szellem munkájának vizsgálata során – amely a megváltás meg­valósításában nyilvánul meg, azaz abban a megváltásban, amelyet Urunk és Megváltónk, Jézus Krisztus véghezvitt és kivívott – most eljutottunk a hívő és az Úr Jézus Krisztus közötti egység /egyesülés tanához. Múlt péntek este, amikor ezt a tanítást bevezettem, nagy hangsúlyt fektettem arra, hogy ez egy olyan tanítás, amelyet szükség­szerűen mindig együtt kell értelmezni az újjászületés tanításával. A két dolog bizonyos értelemben szinte egyidejű. Logikailag az egyesü...

Rooted in Love

A Sermon on Ephesians 3:17 How can one have an abundant life in Christ? What is the secret to living life to its fullest? In this sermon from Ephesians 3:17 titled “Rooted in Love,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones takes the listener through a section of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians to answer these questions. In this section, Paul is praying that Christians will know and seek Christ Himself, not solely the blessings that He offers. The Christian’s primary ambition in life, Dr. Lloyd-Jones says, should not be to aim merely at a good life since all religions have a version of this. Rather, the Christian should have a holiness that flows out of their relationship with Him, and this happens when He dwells in the heart. As Paul prayed for his readers, they become rooted and grounded in love. The language he uses reminds the readers of a tree and just like the roots of a tree, their love is to grow deeper and stronger every day. “Knowledge,” Paul says, “puffs up, bu...
