Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

In this episode, we discuss one of our favorite chapters yet. This is one of the most comprehensive explanations of whaat sin is and why we should not commit sin that we have heard, and we are excited to talk about the content. If you haven’t read this chapter of Life in Christ, we highly recommend that you do! The struggle against sin is something that Christians will be dealing with for the rest of our lives, so we need this reminder of why we should hate sin. I think this episode will be a help towards a closer walk with God.

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 2, chapter 2 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 161-170).

Christ is the theme of all of Scripture. In this episode Max and Charlie look at the historicity of Jesus and the heresies that have been taught concerning Jesus. It is of utmost importance that we understand Jesus as Scripture reveals him. The conversation also touches on other topics surrounding Jesus such as visiting the land of Israel, watching “The Chosen,” and celebrating Christmas. Our lives need to be more focused on Jesus, on all of Jesus, and on Jesus truly and biblically. May our lives be ever-increasingly devoted to following Jesus until we see Him face to face.

Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 2, chapter 1 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 145-159).

When we truly understand how impactful the blood of Christ is, we can see why such powerful hymns have been written about it, messages preached on it’s meaning, books written, and even places dedicated to commemorate the sacredness of it. Christ’s blood bought our justification, which is the basis and the very foundation of our fellowship with God. And it is the blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin and enables us to walk in the light. This episode dives a little deeper into the nuances of justification and sanctification and how the blood of Christ affects our lives in the present as well as in the future.

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 13 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 135-144).

Sadly, we are missing a co-host today. Zack is not able to record with us for the time being so cut us a little slack haha! Today we get to look at what it means to walk in the light. It involves repentance, holy living, and confessing our sin to God on a regular basis. As usual, there are many potential errors we could fall into related to this topic. We hope that from today’s episode you will gain some more insight into the book of 1 John and will be inspired to live for the Lord as you head into a new week.

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 12 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 125-134).

Thank you for listening to this increasingly unpopular yet very important topic! After looking to God, we must look at ourselves to see our sin. This requires looking into God’s Word and believing what it says about us. We have to confront what it means to “walk in darkness” before we can have fellowship with God, in whom there “is no darkness at all.” Even though this is not the most comfortable subject to discuss and think about, it is crucial to our Christian life, as we will continue to see. We hope this episode is a help to you and a sober reminder for all of us that will produce closer communion with Christ.

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 11 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 115-124).

How does God’s holiness fit with the main theme of first John—joy? It all goes back to our fellowship with God, which we cannot know fully without understanding God’s holiness and pursuing holiness in our own lives. This conversation touches on the fact that preaching should start with God and not man’s perceived needs, the importance of education in and submission to the Word of God, the shortcomings of human philosophy and man’s reasoning, the overemphasis and mis-definition of love in our society today, and more. We are glad you have chosen to join in the discussion!

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 10 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 105-114).

Christianity can be categorized into two primary approaches: Mysticism or Evangelicalism. This becomes important in today’s chapter because it affects how we seek to have fellowship with God. One of the greatest takeaways from today’s conversation is to base our faith on intellect and reasoning from God’s Word rather than on our feelings. It all rests on the primacy of the Word of God. We also discuss some of the major criticisms of mysticism and try to answer the question of how to strike a balance between liturgical and charismatic worship.

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 9 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 93-103).

What does it mean to be a Christian? What would you say is the essence of Christianity? This question is explored in this week’s episode as we seek to explain what fellowship with God is, what it is not, and how it is practiced. Topics such as support for Israel, prayer, and closeness with God are major themes in the conversation. We hope this episode makes you think about what it means to share life with God.
