017. Vol. 2, Ch. 4: Knowing That We Know Him

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

Today’s discussion revolves around confidence of salvation and the importance of being assured. Probably all of us have doubted the surety of our salvation at one time or another for one reason or another, and that has an extremely limiting effect on the Christian life we are intended to live. Throughout this episode we discuss reasons for questioning our salvation, repercussions of these doubts, and the way to be assured in our walk with God. We hope this chapter reminds us that our confidence comes from knowing Him and following His Word.

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 2, chapter 5 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 191-200).

016. Vol. 2, Ch. 3: The Advocate

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

It is such a comfort to those who are sensitive towards sin and distressed at their own potential to stray from God that we have an advocate, Jesus Christ the righteous! Once we got the episode started (😂), we were able to discuss our need for a mediator and talk about how great of a go-between Jesus is. This only magnifies the gospel in our view and causes us to be even more grateful for the gift we have been given.

015. Vol. 2, Ch. 2: Doctrine and Life

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

‘Astute’ is the word that comes to mind when we think of this chapter. The importance of doctrine being connected to life is on full display all throughout these pages. We hope the conversation is edifying in two ways (1) in seeing the utmost importance of living out the clear imperatives and instructions of Scripture, and (2) in discussing these specific doctrinal issues that come up in these verses. It is also worth noting that not all doctrinal problems and questions are worth entertaining, since some can be purely theoretical and have no impact on our actual practice. The main takeaway is that doctrine should not be sought after apart from a desire to live out the practical implications of that doctrine. Enjoy the episode!

014. Vol. 2, Ch. 1: More on Sin

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.

013. Vol. 1, Ch. 13: Jesus, His Son

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

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.

012. Vol. 1, Ch. 12: The Blood of Jesus Christ

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

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.

011. Vol. 1, Ch. 11: Walking in the Light

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

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.

010. Vol. 1, Ch. 10: Sin

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

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.
