Top Highlights

“What are those reasons? The first reason for listening to the gospel is the source of the gospel, or the authority of the gospel—the authority with which the message comes to us because of the source of the message. His second reason is the dangerous and alarming condition and position of all men and women who do not believe the gospel and who do not heed it. And his third and last reason is the nature or character of the gospel.” (Page 13)

“Let me ask you another question. In your scheme of things is the Lord Jesus Christ absolutely central and essential?” (Page 19)

“Let me put it still more specifically in a third question. Is the death on the cross absolutely vital to you? Paul” (Page 20)

“This is a person who denies the whole gospel and rejoices in his denial. He is without hope” (Page 148)

“something of its power but then drift past never to see it again” (Page 11)

About David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981) is recognized as one of the last century’s most gifted preachers and writers. He was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20^th century.

Lloyd-Jones first studied medicine, but left that field and went to Wales in 1927 to follow his calling to preach. He became the minister of a Welsh Presbyterian Church in Abervon, South Wales where he ministered for a decade.

In 1929, Lloyd-Jones went to London where he was appointed the associate pastor of Westminster Chapel working alongside G. Campbell Morgan. This ministry lasted for 30 years until Lloyd-Jones retired in 1968. He also served at Inter-Varsity Fellowship of Students which is known today as the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship.

Through his books and commentaries, Lloyd Jones has had a profound influence upon the Christian church and the lives of many worldwide.
