Book Description<\/h2>\n

In his first sermon in his series on the opening chapters of the Gospel of John, begun in October 1962, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones made the arresting remark: ‘Do you know what is the matter with us? I will tell you. We, none of us, really believe in the Lord Jesus Christ!<\/i> The trouble with all of us is that we do not know enough about him. So John says: The thing you need above everything is to be brought to this knowledge of him — who he is, what he has done, and what he has made possible for us.’<\/p>\n

The preacher was convinced that Christians are too often unhappy and uncertain — and, as a result, fail to give a true and accurate impression of Christianity to those around them — because they are suffering from ignorance. Yet he insisted strongly that bare knowledge is not enough. What is needed is the life<\/i> that comes from believing in Christ rightly (John<\/i> 20:31). ‘We must start with the doctrine, and out of that will come the life, the experience, everything we need.’<\/p>\n

This is part of the last great Lloyd-Jones Sunday-morning series at Westminster Chapel. In these 32 powerful sermons, he concentrates on two main areas which feature prominently in John chapter 1: law and grace and their respective roles (from verse 17); and the assurance of salvation (from verses 12-13). The central focus in all the sermons is the life that flows from the Lord Jesus Christ, received by faith, the life that characterizes those who are ‘born of God’ — those who are God’s children by faith in his beloved Son.<\/p>\n
