In verse 14 we have, surely, one of the most astounding and extraordinary statements about the Christian that was ever made, even by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself. I say those "who claim the name of Christian," because the Apostle's words are. THERE IS NOTHING that is more urgently important for all who claim the name of Christian, than to grasp and to understand the teaching of this particular section of Scripture. He knows my every state and condition, He knows exactly what I nee. because of this relationship, I find He infuses it into me. "I find I am very feeble," says Paul, "my energy seems to flag and sometimes I feel I have no life blood in me at all. The law is in our hearts but that is not clear enough, so God made it explicit.

Jonathan Edwards and the Crucial Importance of RevivalĪn address delivered at the Puritan and Westminster Conference of 1976, and published in The Puritans: Their Origins and Successors, by Banner of Truth Trust. This is the theme which He considers in the first eighteen verses of this chapter. IN MATTHEW 6:5-8, we come to an example taken by our Lord to illustrate His teaching concerning piety or the conduct of the religious life. As we have seen, the Apostle emphasizes that we must always think of the gospel in terms of the glory of God. They constitute one of these magnificent summaries of the gospel. We must now look at the last three words in this sixth verse "in the beloved". The relevance of this verse in general, and in some particular respect. This is the fifth woe pronounced by Isaiah on his contemporaries and it deals with something for which we have a new word today - humanism, the creed of our so-called intellectuals. There is a sense in which anyone who faces this verse must feel that he stands on very sacred ground. WWe stand here face to face with one of the sublimest and greatest statements ever made, even by this mighty Apostle of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven."

Lloyd-Jones retired from his ministry at Westminster Chapel in 1968, following a major operation.
The MLJ Trust now archives all his audio messages preached over the years, a staggering 1600 sermons. His sermons were also transcribed and printed (virtually verbatim) in the weekly Westminster Record, which was read avidly by those who enjoyed his preaching. His sermons would often be around fifty minutes to an hour in length, attracting many students from universities and colleges in London. He would take many months, even years, to expound a chapter of the Bible verse by verse. Lloyd-Jones was well known for his style of expository preaching, and the Sunday morning and evening meetings at which he officiated drew crowds of several thousand, as did the Friday evening Bible studies, which were, in effect, sermons in the same style.
