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.

More quotes by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Grace is favor shown to people who do not deserve any favor at all.
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
To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Conviction is not repentance conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.
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 gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There are powers that can counterfeit almost everything in the Christian life.
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
If you can explain what is happening in a church, apart from the sovereign act of God, it is not revival.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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
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
Prayer, in many ways, is the supreme expression of our faith in God.
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
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?
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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
The Gospel is open to all the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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
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
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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?
