More quotes by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
I sometimes think that the very essence of the whole Christian position and the secret of a successful spiritual life is just to realize two things... I must have complete, absolute confidence in God and no confidence in myself.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The very God whom we have offended has Himself provided the way whereby the offense has been dealt with. His anger, His wrath against sin and the sinner, has been satisfied, appeased and He therefore can now thus reconcile man unto Himself.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
We should go into His presence as a child goes to his father. We do it with reverence and godly fear, of course, but we should go with a childlike confidence and simplicity.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Human will-power alone is not enough. Will-power is excellent and we should always be using it but it is not enough. A desire to live a good life is not enough. Obviously we should all have that desire, but it will not guarantee success.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian you cannot be partly a Christian. You are either dead or alive you are either born or not born.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
We need less travelling by jet plaes from congress to congress... but more kneeling and praying and pleading to God to have mercy on us, more crying to God to arise and scatter his enemies and make himself known.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Faith always shows itself in the whole personality.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book he starts with it he submits himself to it this is his authority.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Gospel is open to all the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Faith is the refusal to panic.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
We all tend to go to extremes some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no either/or here it is always both/and. These two things must go together.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There is nothing which so certifies the genuineness of a man's faith as his patience and his patient endurance, his keeping on steadily in spite of everything.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this: It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
