Quote

To be a Christian is not only to believe the teaching of Christ, and to practice it it is not only to try to follow the pattern and example of Christ it is to be so vitally related to Christ that His life and His power are working in us. It is to be in Christ, it is for Christ to be in us.

The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.
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
If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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.

To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.

The devil is so subtle that he dominates man and persuades him at the same time that he is not being dominated.
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
Faith is this extraordinary principle which links man to God faith is this thing that keeps a man from hell and puts him in heaven it is the connection between this world and the world to come faith is this mystic astounding thing that can take a man dead in trespasses and sins and make him live as a new being, a new man in Christ Jesus.

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Conviction is not repentance conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The ultimate cause of spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief, even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks.
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 glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.
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
There are powers that can counterfeit almost everything in the Christian life.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Prayer, in many ways, is the supreme expression of our faith in God.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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.

Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?
