Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

When it comes to the world, we must realize that we need to overcome it, and we must go about it the right way. Some don’t seem to realize there is any problem with the world, and others try to remove themselves from the world, but neither approach is what our Lord wants. We must realize that only by our faith in Christ and being born of God have we already overcome the world and we are emp...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

In a slight change of pace, Jones spends the majority of this message on the writing style of John rather than the specific content of this chapter, and it is really good to read and talk about! How can we better view the Christian life as a walk that encompasses every aspect of our lives? How can we take inventory of how we are doing in our growth in Christlikeness? May we live our whole l...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

This is one of our most in-depth conversations on why we disagree with reformed theology, since it comes out so heavily in this chapter. It is good to reflect on the gospel, and defining what a Christian is Biblically is a good exercise in our articulation of sound doctrine. We also discuss the common bond that believers share and our confidence in our eternal security.

Next week we will ...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Love for the brethren is a natural result if we have experienced the love of God. The struggle oftentimes is moving beyond the thought of love to actually putting that love to practice in our daily lives. It requires viewing people the way God views them, treating each other as the spiritual family we are, and making the choice to esteem each other better than ourselves. May we practice mor...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The topic of how the believer should relate to the fear of the Lord is a deep one, but one with some really important implications for daily life. Should the believer fear the Lord? If so, why? How should the relationship change as the believer matures? Do we fear the judgment? What about assurance of salvation? We tackle all of these questions and more in today’s podcast.

Next week we wi...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Today we discuss the different resurrections and judgments that are mentioned in Scripture in order to understand our passage in 1 John. We should be motivated by the judgment of Christ, and as believers, it is a comfort to know that we will not have to face the wrath of God. May we look to the judgment of Christ to help us prefect our love for God and for our brethren.

Next week we will ...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

In this episode we talk about defining love, dwelling in love, and displaying love to others without burning out. We think it will be an extremely helpful discussion for believers who are trying to live as Christ did. The topic of love is highly relevant in our increasingly divided culture, and we are glad we got to work through it in this recording. Let us know if you have anything to add ...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

We delve into the objective and subjective sides of the love of God in today's conversation, and try to show how both are important. The Christian life must be guided by the truth, but these beliefs should result in real lived experiences for the Believer. There are several specific ways to know the love of God listed in the chapter, and we touch on those as well.

Next week we will be dis...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Today we get to look at all that Jesus accomplished in our salvation and what it means that He is our Savior. Contrary to the opinion that Jesus is merely a good example for us to follow (which is a hopeless message that leads to despair), Jesus already accomplished our salvation and all we have to do is accept it. The saving work of Christ goes so far beyond His death on the cross for us, ...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

God’s Word is certainly everything we need in this life to be sustained and guided in a life of obedience to the Lord. We are excited to discuss this lofty passage that emphasizes the coming of Christ to save us from our sin. We also talk about the role of the Holy Spirit in leading us into truth and the absolute authority of God’s Word. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Next week we w...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Every believer is on a journey towards sanctification, but that path is not always easy. There will undoubtedly be periods of varying emotions and experiences. That is not to say that some Christians have achieved a higher status or level of spirituality, however. We have all been given the full blessing of the Spirit of God at the one-time event of salvation. What we experience after that ...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Continuing on the theme of our assurance, this chapter gives us three aspects of our Christian life: (1) that the essence of the Christian life is abiding in Christ, (2) that we can know that we have eternal life, and (3) that we can know this by the Spirit of God dwelling in us. We also discuss challenges of presenting Christianity properly to the lost around us and the benefits of the Spi...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Jones gets into the mechanics of our verse today, which is a good reminder of what it looks like to conduct deep Bible study. Things like asking the text questions, comparing Scripture with cross-references from itself, and connecting every verse with the context and flow are important Bible study techniques. The main takeaway is the importance of living by faith and loving God because of H...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

There are so many benefits to expository study of Scripture. In today’s message from D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, we see the natural outworking of understanding the love of God. It is important that we understand Christianity is not merely truth to be contemplated, it must be lived. It is so good to incorporate Bible study in your devotions, but may we live out the truths we discover and not just...

Link to the One Line A Day 5-year Memory Journal by Chronicle Books on Amazon (no, we don't get any commission if you purchase this...sadly😂)

What a timely reminder of God’s amazing love for us as we head into a new year. Lloyd-Jones argues that a lack of understanding God’s love is one of the greatest needs of our time. This is so important because we will not be able to love one anothe...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

If you were able to read this chapter, we trust you were encouraged by its contents. On the show we discuss things like the essentialness of brotherly love, the history of Israel’s love for God, the failure of the church at Ephesus in losing their first love, the importance of our love for God and the love of God, as well as the differences between John’s poetic style of writing and Paul’s ...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Jones continues discussing the importance of testing the Spirits in this week’s chapter, and he does so by showing the centrality of Christ in our doctrine. He points out that anyone who misrepresents Christ is not of God. This includes getting the virgin birth, incarnation, atonement, or any other teaching of Christ wrong. We discuss the dangers of progressive Christianity and subtle shift...

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

To follow up from last week, we are looking at the importance of not only having the Holy Spirit, but also testing the Spirits. This chapter emphasizes the importance of balance to avoid extremes, how a person’s lived experiences affect their message, and why it sometimes feels as though we are fighting error on multiple fronts from multiple directions. It was a helpful read for both of us,...
