Sermon Description
What words and images are adequate to convey the experience of conversion? For the Apostle Paul, nothing other than the biblical imagery of creation satisfied the profound change that took place when he encountered the Lord Jesus Christ on the Damascus road. Listen to this sermon on 2 Corinthians 4:6 as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shares the echoes of the creation story from Genesis. By attributing creation imagery to the experience of conversion, Dr. Lloyd-Jones shows how Paul reveals the profound change that occurs when a person becomes a Christian. Moving from darkness to light and chaos to new creation is no superficial change. He challenges his listeners to consider their own conversion and how Paul’s experience can help listeners understand themselves. Dr. Lloyd-Jones challenges the professing Christian to look for a clear move from spiritual blindness and ignorance to knowledge of the true and living God; a life marked by order and discipline rather than disorder and chaos. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones expounds the doctrine of conversion and the beautiful truth that God moves sinners from the domain of darkness to encounter the light in the face of the Lord Jesus Christ.
"The explanation of the sin and the shame and the trouble in the world tonight is finally man's totally inadequate realization of the truth about himself. Oh my dear friends, if men only knew what man is, there'd never be another war. If man only saw himself as he was made by God and as the Bible depicts him, he'd never be taking life as he does. Men wouldn't deal with one another as they do. Life wouldn't be in the chaotic condition it is if men only realized the truth about man." ―Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Glorious in-depth teaching, as usual.
