A sermon by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Sanctification: The Mighty Process of the Holy Spirit https://www.mljtrust.org/sermons/grea... • Great Biblical Doctrines playlist: • The Eternal Decrees of God (Remastered) • Sermon Description • According to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, God’s purpose for everything He does is the Christian’s sanctification. In this sermon titled “The Mighty Process of the Holy Spirit,” he outlines three dangers: Christians must not separate justification and sanctification; Christians cannot believe to both receive sanctification at the time of salvation and also at a point in the future; and Christians must be wary of preaching a false evangelism that stops at forgiveness and excludes holy living. The Christian should care about living a life that is pleasing to God because God is holy. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the Christian’s responsibility in sanctification. While the Holy Spirit is at work within them, they must not resist His work. Paul wrote about this in Romans 8 and other passages, teaching that Christians must actively seek to eliminate sin from their lives. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how Christians can come alongside the Holy Spirit in His work of making them more like Jesus Christ. • Sermon Breakdown • Sanctification is God's will for believers. It is the ultimate purpose behind everything God has done. • There is a danger of isolating doctrines and separating them in a false way. Justification and sanctification must not be separated. • There is a danger of only seeking pardon and forgiveness from Christ and imagining sanctification comes later. True belief in forgiveness necessarily includes sanctification. • There is a danger of a false evangelism only concerned with temporary relief and not pressing the importance of sanctification. Sanctification is part of the message of evangelism. • The trouble with sanctification arises from starting with ourselves instead of starting with God. We are to be holy because God is holy. • The agent in sanctification is the Holy Spirit. Sanctification is attributed to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Scripture. • While sanctification is primarily the work of God, we also have a role to play. * We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling. • We must reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive to God. We must not let sin reign in our bodies. We must yield ourselves to God. • We must mortify the deeds of the body through the Spirit. We must flee youthful lusts and seek after righteousness. • We must put off the old self and put on the new self. We must cleanse ourselves from filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. • If all we had to do was surrender and let God work, the New Testament epistles would not have been written. We must apply the teachings of Scripture.
