“The idea that we ought to feel disappointed when people do not believe the Gospel, that we ought to think that something has gone wrong, is altogether mistaken. The idea that the Gospel is a message that must appeal to men and women is all wrong. By nature people have always hated and rejected it. But in doing so, they do not realize that they are proving the truth of the Gospel and of our Lord’s prediction. The tragedy is that the world does not realize that in rejecting this message, it is rejecting the only thing that can save it.” (Page 7)

“To put it positively, the real failure is the inability to see that the essential problem of the human race is the problem of the heart.” (Page 250)

“So the way to test a profession of faith is the test of circumstances, trials, tribulations, troubles, or death staring you in the face.” (Page 124)

“But we must now go on to consider why it is that the world misunderstands and hates the Christian message. The answer can be put in one word. It is because this true message is supernatural.” (Page 71)

“Here we have a description of the first persecution that was ever endured by the Christian church, a persecution that arose because the authorities rejected the message of the Gospel.” (Page 6)

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. His books include The Gospel in Genesis: From Fig Leaves to Faith, Great Doctrines of the Bible, and the titles in the Crossway D.
