Made Alive in Christ - A Sermon on Romans

www.mljtrust.o...
In the previous sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addressed that all humanity sinned when Adam sinned. But how is it that all sin in Adam? In this sermon on Romans 5:12 titled “Made Alive in Christ,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones dives into this topic by looking into several different views. The first view is the realistic view, which states that the whole of humanity resided in Adam. Because of this, when Adam sinned, all humanity sinned. Second is the representation view. This view states that Adam’s sin was passed to all because God had appointed him as the representative for all humanity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones states that his view of Scripture shows a mixture of these two views. He looks at the parallel between Adam and Christ. He shows how both Adam and Christ were appointed by God and represented all humanity. Adam represented all in his sin and Jesus represented all in His obedience. Dr. Lloyd-Jones ends his sermon by pointing out the important truth that Jesus is the last Adam. There will be no one to come after Him who will again represent all of humanity. Christians can rejoice in that fact, knowing that they can forever rest in the work of Jesus Christ.

This.. is the kind of preaching and teaching the people of God need, to build them up, in their most holy faith and to be instructed in righteousness, and thanks be to God, it's still around with these tapes of that blessed, and much used faithful servant if the Lord. Thanks be to God for His provision.

Agreed 💯. Gospel centered preaching, not man centered. MLJ is definitely one of my favorite non living theologians (alongside John Owen, JC Ryle, John Knox, AW Tozer, & Luther).
