The Called of Jesus Christ
Why does God love us? Many believe he loves those who do good. This belief stems from the idea that one must first change, and then God will love him. Is his loved based on our ability to change? In this sermon, Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that God’s love is not contingent on us changing, but just the opposite. Our change is based on God’s love. Christians are not those who are earning love from God, but rather Christians are described as those who already are loved by God. Listen as the Dr. explains that God loves us in the same way he loves the Son. This love is based purely on his grace. And it’s a love which has the power to change. Because of his love, we are called the beloved; we are called saints. Our motivation to change is no longer based upon our hope that God might accept us. Our motivation to change now comes from the call: “Be who you are.” If we are indeed the beloved of God, let us display that. If we are indeed saints, let us show that we are saints. We are who we are by grace. Distinct from the world, that we may glorify God.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel
The Protestant Reformation erupted from Romans 1:16-17. In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines these vital and crucial verses that were the catalyst for Martin Luther. The audience to whom Paul wrote were often ashamed and discouraged in their faith. In boldness and inspiring confidence, Paul wrote “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” Though the world ridicules the teachings of Christ and calls those who believe foolish, the object of our faith is a fact, not a philosophy. The world might see us as fools, but we are affirmed and protected by our Savior. The gospel is full of hope for the fallen world! As The Doctor expalins, Paul’s teaching exposes the sin of all men and that Christ’s death and resurrection were for all social statuses. Thus, every person can rest in the hope that there is joy in being foolish in the eyes of the world, and loved by our Lord.
