The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Man was never meant to be a god, but he is forever trying to deify himself.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Conviction is not repentance conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The devil's one object is so to depress God's people that he can go to the man of the world and say: There are God's people. Do you want to be like that?
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The introduction is the first and best chance to win the attention of people who otherwise would not care. The first thing you have to do is make people believe that what you have to say is relevant and important.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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
Image
I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The worst thing that can happen to a man is to succeed before he is ready.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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
Image
The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Be still, and know that I am God. We must not interpret that 'Be still' in a sentimental manner. Some regard it as a kind of exhortation to us to be silent but it is nothing of the sort. It means, 'Give up -or 'Give in' and admit I am God'. God is addressing people who are opposed to Him.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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
Image
The devil is so subtle that he dominates man and persuades him at the same time that he is not being dominated.
