Declared to Be the Son of God

Image
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...

Áthelyezve a Kegyelem Uralmába

Image
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 ...

Transferred to The Reign of Grace

Image
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...

Submit to God's Righteousness – sermon

Image
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...

Christ; the end of the Law

Image
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 ...

A hit bizonyossága

Image
"Authority", Fennhatóság Martyn Lloyd-Jones Egyedül a Szent Szellem az, aki végül is megingathatatlan bizonyosságot adhat nekünk az üdvösségről. Az üdvösség bizonyosságának témája nagyon fontos és úgy tűnik nekem, hogy nagyon gyakran félreértik. Három fő módja van annak, ahogyan a bizonyosság eljut hozzánk, de napjainkban sajnos gyakran csak az elsőt hangsúlyozzák. Az első az, amit úgy kapunk, hogy hisszük és magunkra alkalmazzuk a Szentírás puszta szavát, mint Isten hiteles szavát. Azt mondja nekünk, hogy "aki hisz benne, nem kárhozik el" , Ott van Isten szava, hisszük és támaszkodunk rá. Ez azonban csak az első út, amelyen a bizonyosság eljuthat hozzánk. Sőt, ez önmagában néha veszélyes lehet. Ez lehet egyfajta "hitélet" {believism: "hit elvűség"}. Az ember a saját lelki békéje és céljai érdekében mondhatja ezt. Ezt elfogadjuk, de önmagában ez nem elég. Szükségünk van még valamire, ami a bizonyosság második alapja. János els...

The Moody Individual

Image
Sermon on 2 Timothy 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, (ESV) In one’s fight against depression, a man must deal with an incredible power: his feelings. In this sermon on 2 Timothy 1:6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones deals with the problem of feelings in the Christian life. Everybody wants to be happy. The problem is that no one can make themselves happy. The human is not a master of self and cannot produce feeling. Try as hard as you might, a man cannot generate true emotions. One’s feelings are dependent on factors seemingly outside of one’s control. As a matter of fact, feelings seek to control us. The world refers to this as a mood. A person controlled by their feelings may be referred to as a “moody” individual You can go directly to this audio message by clicking on the following link: Feelings Audio by MLJ Trust.

Predefined, decreed and prepared plan

Image
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.

Minden összedolgozik javukra

Image
Ez az „összedolgozik javukra” című prédikáció az első a Róma 8:28-30 -ról szóló tizenhét Martyn Lloyd-Jones prédikáció közül, amely itt magyarul a Csia Újszövetségben a következőképpen hangzik: 28 Tudjuk pedig, hogy azoknak, akik Istent szeretik, minden összedolgozik a javukra, miután az Isten előzetes terve szerint (való kifejlődésre) elhívottak, 29 mert akiket eleve felismert, azokat a többiektől eleve különválasztotta, hogy ugyanazt az alakot viseljék, amelyet az ő Fia, hogy így Isten Fia sok testvér között az elsőszülött legyen. 30 Akiket pedig eleve különválasztott, azokat el is hívta, akiket elhívott, azokat igazságosakká tette, akiket igazságosakká tett, azokat meg is dicsőítette. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones prédikációjában „az egész Szentírás egyik legfigyelemreméltóbb kijelentését” kezdi szemügyre venni. Ebben azt taglalja, hogy a 28. versben szereplő ígéret csak a keresztényeknek szól, és nyomós okokat ad arra, hogy a látszólag rossz dolgok miért működnek még mindig a...

Working For Our Good

Image
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.

Hope in Practice

Image
This sermon, “Hope in Practice” , talks on the apostolic message, based on Romans 8:24-25, which in the ESV reads as follows: “For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues to exposit the theme of hope in the Bible. He characterizes Christian hope as an eager, joyful waiting. Dr Lloyd-Jones concludes with a powerful story from the autobiography of a saint from the last century, and rebukes the tendency of a believer's thinking to be all too earthly and fixated on this world.

Saints and Faithful in Christ Jesus

Image
 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.
