Stand Therefore – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The video of this post is from the YouTube site, MLJTrust, linked below:

This is the final sermon on Ephesians 6:10-13, it is number 45 in this series on the Armor of God. MLJ’s next 12 sermons (all MLJTrust currently has posted) are on 6:14.

I have never seen any preacher treat scripture so thoroughly as MLJ.

There is much encouragement in this sermon that cannot be derived from merely reading the points, but reading those is worth the time.

“There are no backdoors in the spiritual life. You never turn your back to the enemy. Stand.” ―Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Ephesians 6.10-13 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against…

Sermon Description [by MLJTrust]:

This great appeal comes to Christian people: “Stand therefore.”

In this sermon on Ephesians 6.10–13 titled “Stand Therefore,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains about the power God gives His people to remain faithful.

First of all, he says that Christians must not feel disappointed or unhappy because this causes a conflict. Christians should never feel sorry for themselves. The moment they do, they’ve already lost the battle.

Secondly, they must recognize the power of what they are up against but not be frightened. Because of the power of God in them, they can resist the devil.

Thirdly, they are not to be half-hearted. When they doubt, they are already defeated.

Fourthly, do not consider retreat. Thinking or talking too much about personal weaknesses (or those of others) is depressing and an enemy tactic to sap the Christian of strength.

Fifthly, always be ready. Spiritually, Christians are to be well balanced and not carried about by every wind of doctrine.

Sixthly, realize the privilege of being in this great battle. Consider the captain and leader — Jesus Christ Himself.

Lastly, think of the glory that is coming. Paul said, “There is henceforth a crown of righteousness laid up for me [.…] And not to me only, but to all who have loved his appearing.”
