The Lie of Sin - A Sermon on Psalm 107:17-22

God is to be praised with one’s whole life because He is God. Sin is the singular cause of all troubles in this world, manifested in various ways. In this sermon on Psalm 107:17-22 titled “The Lie of Sin,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones looks at the third representation of sin-sin as disease. This is the illness of the soul, of humanity, of life. Sin is not only rebellion, but it is also transgression-a deliberate and continual going against God’s indicated will, thus taking the health of one’s soul. People are architects of their own troubles. The extraordinary paradox is that everyone is chasing happiness, but the result is unhappiness because it is not being sought in the right way. People search for the best, but find the worst. Sin always robs people of innocence, refinement, delicacy, judgement, and energy. The craving for evil exponentially continues to increase. Christ came to kill the poison of this disease through His death so that all could be reconciled to God.
