  • Faith is the refusal to panic.

  • 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".

  • 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.

    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (2016). “Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures”, p.21, Zondervan
  • There are powers that can counterfeit almost everything in the Christian life.

    David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1961). “Studies in the Sermon on the Mount”
  • The eternal everlasting God has become our Father and the moment we realize that, it transforms everything.

  • If in a Christian pulpit you have no business saying, "I suggest to you" No! "These things I declare to you."

  • What is preaching? Logic on fire! Preaching is theology coming through a man who is on fire. A true understanding and experience of the Truth must lead to this. I say again that a man who can speak about these things dispassionately has no right whatsoever to be in a pulpit; and should never be allowed to enter one.

  • 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.

  • Faith is this extraordinary principle which links man to God; faith is this thing that keeps a man from hell and puts him in heaven; it is the connection between this world and the world to come; faith is this mystic astounding thing that can take a man dead in trespasses and sins and make him live as a new being, a new man in Christ Jesus.

    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1995). “Reflections: A Treasury of Daily Readings”, Nelson Bibles
  • First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book; he starts with it; he submits himself to it; this is his authority.

    Men  
  • Man was never meant to be a god, but he is forever trying to deify himself.

    Men  
  • The ultimate test of our spirituality is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God.

  • So let me put it thus: Hold on to your principles of morality and ethics, use your willpower to the limit, pay great heed to every noble, uplifting desire that is in you; but realize that these things alone are not enough, that they will never bring you to the desired place. We have to realize that all our best is totally inadequate, that a spiritual battle must be fought in a spiritual manner.

  • There is no happiness finally, there is no peace, there is no joy except we be right with God. The miserable Christian is wrong in his ideas as to how this rightness with God is to be obtained.

  • The most vital question to ask about all who claim to be Christian is this: Have they a soul thirst for God? ... Is their life centered on Him? Do they press forward more and more that they might know Him.

  • 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."

    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1995). “Reflections: A Treasury of Daily Readings”, Nelson Bibles
  • Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

    Martyn Lloyd-Jones (2012). “Preaching and Preachers”, p.90, Hachette UK
  • 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.

    Men  
  • The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.

  • 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.

    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (2016). “Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures”, p.14, Zondervan
  • You pray and make your requests made known unto God, and God will do something.' It is not your prayer that is going to do it, it is not you who is going to do it, but God. 'The peace of God that passeth all understanding'-He, through it all, 'will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus'.

  • If you can explain what is happening in a church, apart from the sovereign act of God, it is not revival.

  • What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this: It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence.

    Men  
    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1972). “Preaching and Preachers”, p.97, Zondervan
  • The introduction is the first and best chance to win the attention of people who otherwise would not care. The first thing you have to do is make people believe that what you have to say is relevant and important.

  • It is grace at the beginning, and grace at the end. So that when you and I come to lie upon our death beds, the one thing that should comfort and help and strengthen us there is the thing that helped us in the beginning. Not what we have been, not what we have done, but the Grace of God in Jesus Christ our Lord. The Christian life starts with grace, it must continue with grace, it ends with grace. Grace wondrous grace. By the grace of God I am what I am. Yet not I, but the Grace of God which was with me.

  • I will not glory, even in my orthodoxy, for even that can be a snare if I make a god of it... Let us rejoice in Him in all His fullness and in Him alone.

    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (2016). “Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures”, p.119, Zondervan
  • Faith always shows itself in the whole personality.

    David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1961). “Studies in the Sermon on the Mount”
  • 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.

  • Human will-power alone is not enough. Will-power is excellent and we should always be using it; but it is not enough. A desire to live a good life is not enough. Obviously we should all have that desire, but it will not guarantee success.

  • If we only spent more of our time in looking at Him we should soon forget ourselves.

    D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (2016). “Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures”, p.57, Zondervan
