Is Jesus really God? Some say He became divine at his baptism while others suggest He became the Son of God at His resurrection. The deity of Jesus Christ has always been challenged, not by those who are saved, but by those who want to remain in their sin. In this sermon titled “Declared to Be the Son of God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues that Jesus is and always was the unique Son of God from the beginning. In order to do the will of God the Father, His power and glory were hidden and yet He never became less than God. As the apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:3–4, the resurrection of Jesus proves that He is God. concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord Romans 1:3-4 (ESV) Like a son of the king who is ceremonially announced as heir of the kingdom, Jesus is declared to be the sovereign over all creatio...

Mit jelent az, hogy meghaltunk a bűnnek Krisztusban? Ez egy vitatott kifejezés, amelyet az egyháztörténelem során többféleképpen is értelmeztek. A Róma 6:1-3-ról szóló prédikációban, amelynek címe: "Áthelyezve a kegyelem uralmába", Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones azt mondja, hogy ennek a Szentírás helynek a megértése létfontosságú: Mit mondjunk hát? Megmaradjunk a vétekben, hogy a kegyelmet megsokasítsuk? Szó sem lehet róla. Vajon mi, akiket halálba vitt a vétek, élhetnénk-e még tovább ebben a vétekben? Hát nem értitek, hogy mi, akik a Krisztus Jézusba bemerítkeztünk, halálába merültünk be? Rm 6:1-3 Ez nem pusztán valami tudományos gyakorlatként fontos, hanem a keresztény élet szempontjából is. Azt mondja, hogy a bűnnek való meghalás azt jelenti, hogy Isten a keresztény embert Krisztusban megigazultnak és új embernek nyilvánította. Ez Isten kegyelmének és teljes megbocsátásának isteni kinyilvánítása mindazok számára, akik hisznek Jézus Krisztusban. Dr. Martin ...

What does it mean to have died to sin in Christ? This is a debated phrase that has had a number of interpretations throughout church history. In this sermon on Romans 6:12 titled “Transferred to the Reign of Grace,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says that understanding this Scripture is vital: What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Rm 6:1-2 This is important not merely as an academic exercise, but for the Christian life. He says that to have died to sin means that God has declared the Christian justified in Christ and a new person. It is the divine pronouncement of God’s favor and total forgiveness for all who believe in Jesus Christ. The emphasis, says Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones, is always on what God has done for His people. This is why Paul expects the charge that he is encouraging sin so that grace might abound; he anticipates that this view of grace could be misunderstood. This serm...

A Sermon on Romans 10:1-3 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. (ESV) SERMON DESCRIPTION Since the inception of the church, Christianity has battled the false belief of justification by works. In its modern Western form, many wrongly understand the gospel to mean going to church, doing good, or being a nice person. In this sermon on Romans 10:13 titled Submit to God’s Righteousness, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones proclaims that the current Christian culture continues to preach self-righteousness, self-reliance, and self-dependence. In its primitive form, the apostle Paul holds up the Pharisees as the prime example of those who are zealous for doing good works and yet are ignorant of what God’s righteousness requires in th...

A Sermon on Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (ESV) SERMON DESCRIPTION In this sermon on Romans 10:4 titled "Christ, the End of the Law", Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says that this Scripture is the charter for all Christians and it sets them free. In this verse, Paul proclaims that Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness. He means that the law was not temporary but it is eternal. God is not doing away with the law but rather upholding the law. It is an expression of God’s holy character and what He expects of the human race. So how is Christ the end of the law? Christ has fulfilled the law and done this for all who believe in Him. He came into the world as a God-man born under the law, lived a life of perfect obedience to the law, and died to satisfy the punishment of the law. The fulfillment is true because God raised Him from the dead. No one else was able to do this. Christ is the end of ...

del libro: "Autoridad" por Martyn Lloyd-Jones ... Una declaración en los Salmos dice, 'El que habita en los cielos se reirá', y yo creo que Dios a veces se ríe de la Iglesia. Nos ve dispuestos a extender nuestras manos para sostener el arca. Pensamos que sólo nosotros podemos hacerlo. Estamos muy preocupados. Celebramos nuestras conferencias y sacamos nuestras propuestas. Pero no llegan a nada. Entonces, cuando estamos completamente agotados, después de todas nuestras grandes campañas, conferencias y nuestra brillante organización, y después de que hemos gastado todo nuestro dinero, y las cosas han ido aún de mal en peor, Dios inesperadamente -en el último lugar donde jamás hubieras esperado que lo hiciera y a través de la última persona en la que hubieras pensado- derrama de repente el Espíritu. Entonces la Iglesia se eleva a un nuevo período de gloria, de poder y de influencia. Hombres y mujeres se convierten en masa, y el poder de la verdad está d...

Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Autoridad" ... el problema es que siempre empezamos por nosotros mismos y nuestros esfuerzos y pedimos a Dios que los bendiga. ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que oíste a alguien orar por un aviva­miento, orar para que Dios abra las ventanas del cielo y derrame su Espíritu? ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que usted mismo oró por eso? Sugiero seriamente que estamos descuidando esto casi por completo. Somos culpables de olvidar la autoridad del Espíritu Santo. Estamos tan interesados en nosotros mismos y en nuestras propias activi­dades que nos hemos olvidado del que nos hace eficaces. Por todos los medios sigamos orando por los esfuerzos particulares, por el ministro y su predicación de cada domingo, por todas las organizaciones esenciales y por las campañas evangelísticas, si nos sentimos impulsados a tenerlas. Pero antes de todo, y después de todo, oremos y supliquemos por un reavivamiento. Cuando Dios envía un reaviva­miento, puede hacer más en...

from the book: "Authority" by Martyn Lloyd-Jones ... the trouble is that we always start with ourselves and our efforts and ask God to bless them. When did you last hear anyone praying for revival, praying that God might open the windows of heaven and pour out His Spirit? When did you last pray for that yourself? I suggest seriously that we are neglecting this almost entirely. We are guilty of forgetting the authority of the Holy Spirit. We are so interested in ourselves and in our own activities that we have forgotten the one make us effective. By all means let us continue to pray for the particular efforts, for the minister, and his preaching every Sunday, for all essential organizations and for evangelistic campaigns, if we feel led to have them. But before it all, and after it all, let us pray and plead for revival. When God sends revival He can do more in a single day than in fifty years of all our organization. That is the verdict of sheer history which ...

from the book: "Authority" by Martyn Lloyd-Jones ... A statement in the Psalms says, ‘He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh’, and I believe that God sometimes laughs at the Church. He sees us ready to put out our hands to steady the ark. We think that we alone can do it. We are greatly concerned. We hold our conferences and bring out our proposals. But they come to nothing. Then, when we are quite exhausted, after all our great campaigns, conferences and our brilliant organization, and after we have spent all our money, and things have still gone from bad to worse, God unexpectedly – in the last place where you would ever have expected Him to do so and through the last person you would ever have thought of – suddenly sheds forth the Spirit. Then the Church rises to a new period of glory, of power and of influence. Men and women are converted in masses, and the power of the truth is again upon them. The Holy Spirit manifests His authority in the Ch...

from the book: "Authority" by Martyn Lloyd-Jones It is the Holy Spirit alone who finally can give us an unshakable assurance of salvation. Now this subject of the assurance of salvation is a very important one, and one, it seems to me, which is very frequently misunderstood. There are three main ways in which assurance comes to us, but often in these days, unfortunately, only the first one is stressed. The first is that which is to be obtained by believing and applying to ourselves the bare word of the Scripture as the authoritative word of God. It tells us that ‘he that believeth on him is not condemned’ , There is God’s word, we believe it and rest upon it. Yet that is only the first way assurance may come to us. Indeed, that alone can sometimes be dangerous. It can be a kind of ‘believism’, A man can say that for his own peace of mind and for his own purposes. We accept that, but alone it is not enough. We need something further, which is the second gr...

Mr. John Bunyan szavai és mondásai Megjelent az Offor kiadó Bunyan műveinek 1861-es kiadásában. Bűnről A bűn a boldogságunk nagy akadálya és gátja, az ember minden nyomorúságának előidézője, itt és a túlvilágon egyaránt. Vedd el a bűnt, és semmi sem árthat nekünk; mert “a bűn zsoldja a halál” - időleges-, természetfeletti- és örökkévaló értelemben is halál. A bűn, és a bűn miatt az ember is Isten haragjának tárgya. Milyen rettenetes lehet tehát annak az esete, aki továbbra is bűnben marad! Mert ki tudná elviselni vagy megküzdeni Isten haragjával? Egyetlen Isten elleni bűn sem lehet kicsi, mert az ég és föld nagy Istene ellen irányul; de ha a bűnös talál (magának) egy "kis" istent, akkor könnyen találhat "kis" bűnöket is. A bűn Isten egész kegyelmét ürességgé változtatja; merész szembeszegülés az Ő igazságosságával, irgalmának megerő­szakolása, türelmének megcsúfolása, hatalmának megtagadása és szeretetének megvetése. Vigyázz, hogy ne engedd meg ma...

Mr. John Bunyan’s Words and sayings Published in Offor’s 1861 edition of Bunyan’s Works. THE LORD’S DAY, SERMONS, AND WEEKDAYS Take special care to sanctify the Lord’s Day, to set it apart as holy; for as you keep it, so it will be with you all the week long. Make the Lord’s Day the market for your soul; let the whole day be spent in prayer, memorizing, or meditations on God’s Word. Lay aside the affairs of the rest of the week. Let the sermon you have heard be converted into prayer. Shall God allow you six days, and will you not give Him one? In the church, make certain that you serve God, for you are in His eyes and not in man’s. You might hear sermons often and do well in practicing what you hear, but you must not expect someone in the pulpit to tell you all that you ought to do. Rather, be studious in searching the Scriptures and reading good books. What you hear may be forgotten, but what you read may be better retained. Forsake not the public worship of ...

"Faithful to Christ – A Challenge to Truly Live for Christians" A book by Charles Spurgeon T  here is nothing the human heart falls into as easily as pride, and yet there is no sin that is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is unjustified. It stands upon the sand, or worse than that, it puts its foot upon the waves of the sea that give way beneath its step — or worse still, it stands upon bubbles that soon must burst beneath its feet. Of all things, pride has the worst foothold. It has no solid rock on earth on which to place itself. We have reasons for almost everything, but we have no reasons for pride. Pride is something that should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. Pride is foolish. It brings no profit with it. There is no wisdom in self-exaltation. Other sins might have some excuse, for people might seem to gain by them. People might make excuses and find temporary worldly benefit in...

Revival can be found in the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments, and Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ sermons draw inspiration from both. In the revival sermons below, Dr. Lloyd-Jones shines the light of the scriptures on the topic of revival, exploring historical revivals, the role of the Church in revival, and our reliance on the movement of the Holy Spirit to see revival take hold.

Romans 8:28-30 - The purposes of human beings are often frustrated and thwarted by others. They work out every detail in order to ensure the working out of their plan, only to find out that it was all for nothing. What about God’s plan? What about God’s purpose in salvation and history? Does the triune God shift His plans according to circumstances provoked by sinful people and demonic opposition? In this sermon on Romans 8:28–30 titled “ God’s Plan is Certain ,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds on Paul’s teaching on the absolute, definite plan of God. His plan of salvation did not originate after the fall of humanity, nor is salvation in Christ a response to Israel’s rejection of salvation through the law, but the Father’s plan to send the Son and obtain salvation for His people was ordained before the foundation of the world.

This sermon, “Working For Our Good”, is the first of seventeen sermons by Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones, preached on Romans 8:28-30 , which in the ESV reads as follows: And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. In his sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones begins looking at "one of the most remarkable statements in the whole of Scripture". In it, he discusses how the promise in verse 28 is only for Christians, and offers compelling reasons why seemingly bad things are still working for the good of those who love God.

 What is the minimum of what it means to be a Christian? In this sermon on Ephesians 1:1 titled “Saints… and Faithful in Christ Jesus” , Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses this question. Three striking descriptions are proclaimed from this text: saints, faithful, and union with Christ. Dr. Lloyd-Jones centers his sermon around these descriptors and shows what the apostle Paul meant by these terms.  While many Christians have a tendency to emphasize one of these descriptions over against the other, Dr. Lloyd-Jones calls the Christian to hold these together. The failure to do so is damaging to the church.. Dr. Lloyd-Jones also mentions the importance of the original form of the apostolic Church / ID.     Audio sermon @ MLJ Trust's site.

­Spurgeon had not gone to college, and felt the advantage of being self-taught ‘on the job’, as it were, rather than in a classroom. And so, rather than recommend these young men to an existing school, he began an in-house ‘Pastor’s College’ in Southwark, just south of the River Thames. Spurgeon had diligently made up for his own lack of formal theological education by voraciously reading warm-hearted, passionate and fruitful writers of previous generations. In fact it is evident that his originality wasn’t suppressed or moulded into a traditional way of doing things. Read the You’re reading an excerpt from this full article here
