Martyn Lloyd-Jones quotes

If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin. (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The terrible, tragic fallacy of the last hundred years has been to think that all man's troubles are due to his environment, and that to change the man you have nothing to do but change his environment. That is a tragic fallacy. It overlooks the fact that it was in Paradise that man fell.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.

To love to preach is one thing; to love to whom you preach is quite another. (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian; you cannot be partly a Christian. You are either "dead" or "alive"; you are either "born" or "not born".
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
People who think that once they are converted all will be happy, have forgotten Satan.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The ultimate test of our spirituality is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God.

The devil is so subtle that he dominates man and persuades him at the same time that he is not being dominated.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.

Spiritual depression or unhappiness in the Christian life is very often due to our failure to realize the greatness of the gospel.

What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this: It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do. (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Though we claim to believe the whole of Scripture, in practice we frequently deny much of it by ignoring it.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The ultimate cause of spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief, even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks.
