The Spirit: Leading and Love - A Sermon on John

www.mljtrust.o...
Do you have a new and special relationship with God, the Holy Spirit, and Christ? Listen to this sermon on John 1:12-13 as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones looks specifically at this new relationship a believer has with the Spirit: the awareness of the Spirit within, an unction to understand the essential truths of Scripture, and a leading by the Spirit. The general, and the particular, effects of the Spirit's teaching in all areas of life are seen to always lead one to prayer and to the Bible in spiritual interest, not mere intellectuality. Ultimately, these are the matters of life: living, conduct, practice and behavior. What do you like in the mundane affairs of life? Listen in on the question of the Quakers and how they approached morals and sex. Look at the essentiality of Scripture and the error of Quakerism. Ungodliness will lead to unrighteousness; Scripture is God's Word and cannot be separated from the Spirit. The balance between enlightenment and doctrine is crucial. Hear about love misunderstood and the difference between eros and agape love. Dr. Lloyd-Jones discusses the fatal mistake in considering the Law and love to be in opposition to one another. Christianity is not lawlessness, pursue this love that fulfills the Law.

So true. Eros love is what society wants you to follow right into heartbreak and loss of peace. God's Word brings freedom. Parents love your children as Christ would love them so that they don't follow the world. Husbands do likewise for the stability of your home.
