``Pero no me avergüenzo, porque yo sé a quién he creído, y estoy seguro que es poderoso para guardar mi depósito para aquel día´´ (2 Timoteo 1:12) ``¿Qué será de la Iglesia en un mundo hostil?´´, pensó el abatido Timoteo. La respuesta de Pablo, escrita mientras afrontaba la muerte en prisión por causa de su fe, es inspiradora para todos nosotros. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, con un detallado estudio de sus palabras, nos ruega que no perdamos la esperanza ante las dificultades e incertidumbres de la vida; en lugar de eso nos apremia a regocijarnos en el evangelio, sabiendo que son buenas noticias para todos.
David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.
I have never been let down on reading Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Wonderful preaching at its finest. In 1964 Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preached a serries on 2 Timothy 1-12. This serries lasted eleven weeks as Martyn expounded this text which incorporated, The problem of life, real Christianity, the right diagnosis, who is man, Christ our saviour, God's unchanging purpose, God's way of redemption, abundant life, delivered from fear, That day and Persuaded. I would recommend this book to everyone as it touched me when he started expounding on the fact that man is a soul and the problems of the world comes down to the fact that we don't realise this about ourselves. Excellent book.
In this series of 11 sermons (originally delivered in 1964), Lloyd-Jones explores some of Paul’s final words to Timothy and explains how they encourage both him and all of its other readers down through the ages. The core of Paul’s message is his unshakeable confidence in the person and work of Christ. He reminds us that no one can enjoy the comforts of Christianity until they have placed their faith in the One who provides them.
Muy clara explicación del evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesús a partir del pasaje de Primera de Timoteo 1: 6-14. La necesidad de este mensaje queda clara al recurrir el autor a una descripción de la condición humana y sus consecuencias. Lo mejor de todo es que el autor presenta el evangelio como un hecho histórico no como una ideología o una filosofía. El señor Jesús y su obra en la cruz son hechos, son historia. Recomiendo este título y mucho.
