Martyn Lloyd-jones Sermon Podcast

Ezekiel 13:1-16 — In this sermon on Ezekiel 13:1–16 titled “Christ, the Only Hope,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses a question that is central to all of life: “who is man?”. Many today say that people are fundamentally good, or at least morally neutral, with the ability to become either a good or a bad person. But either way it is up to them. This is why people must be taught how to do the right thing, and once they knows what is right, they will do it. This is how the world’s problems will be solved, they contend. While this may be a popular teaching, it is directly contradicted by Scripture. The Bible teaches that all are fallen and slaves to sin. They are unable to choose the good or overcome their sin by themselves. The world tells humanity only what it wants to hear, but God’s word is different. It is seen in Scripture that all are sinful and under the wrath of God yet it is God who works to provide salvation for all. He sends His only Son to die upon the cross for the sins of humanity. Who then is man?
