Book Description

Dr. Lloyd-Jones says, ‘Little needs to be said by way of introduction to this volume. The verses considered in it are generally agreed to be one of the sublimest portions of scripture.

In it the Apostle brings his argument concerning assurance of salvation to a grand climax. The way in which he advances surely from argument to argument, piling one upon another, is astonishing, and constitutes the supreme example of inspired logic. In doing so he brings us face to face with the fundamental theme of the Bible – God’s plan and purpose of redemption conceived before time and the foundation of the world, and spanning the whole of human history from the original creation to the final glory.’

  New life in Christ - the necessity for understanding regeneration - the test of real Christianity - the artificial and the spontaneous - spiritual life and the backslider.

  Quickening here neither regeneration nor faith-healing - the resurrection of the body guaranteed by the Spirit's indwelling - complete deliverance from sin and its effects - the nature of the glorified body.  
  Eight 91
  Sanctification in practice - 'perfectionism' and 'counteraction' rejected - no mention of surrender - a call for action in the light of understanding - realizing and paying our debt.

  The inconsistency of living after the flesh - the nature of sin and our new position - mortification, cause or means to an end? - the way of sanctification defined - support from the rest of the New Testament.  
  Ten 118
  Wrong theories make these verses unnecessary - regenerate man not 'absolutely hopeless' - false analogies and the principle of growth - true encouragement ­false argument from results - marching orders.  
  Eleven 131
  The work of mortification - sin and the body - false ideas of mortification ­abstinence from sin - a positive ambition to glorify God.

  Likeness to the Father - the Father's loving interest in His children - sonship and prayer - certainty of our sonship - the leading of the Spirit.  
  Fourteen 170
  Leading by persuasion - leading and guidance - special revelations and the Scriptures - the Spirit's action upon mind, heart and will.  
  Fifteen 181
  The jealousy of the Spirit - practical tests - a spiritual outlook - a desire to glorify and know God - an increasing concern about sin and temptation - the fruit of the Spirit - applying the tests.

  Seventeen 206
  The spirit of bondage as a test of true conversion - the case of those brought up in Christian homes - increasing awareness of sin - the sense of sin determined by our knowledge of God.  
  Eighteen 218
  The son's freedom from bondage and fear - godly fear and craven fear - depres­sion owing to temperament or backsliding - satanic attacks and desertion.  
  Nineteen 229
  Consciousness of our adoption - sonship and the Son of God - feeling towards God as our Father - the significance of 'Abba' - a deep elemental cry ­spontaneous and confident prayer.  
  Twenty 246
  Assurance not essential for salvation - assurance in times of revival - the manner of receiving the Spirit of adoption - 'taking it by faith' considered ­taking and receiving.  
  Twenty-one 260

    Considering how polarizing and even divisive this issue of the final perseverance of the believers is, there has never been a better time for anyone in the church to read this particular volume in this larger, supremely encouraging and fortifying Romans comment by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. What this volume did for me regarding handing over whatever self sufficiency i had lurking inside my soul out of which, i believed, could save me from hell, cannot be overstated. The assurance that it indeed Gods power and purpose which both saved me and will continue to save me, that began this process within me of finally being cured of wondering and doubting if i “would ever be strong enough in my love and devotion to God to allow me to finally persevere in persecution or the rigors of life. Almost humorously, I came to realize reading this volume one morning that it is actually His love and devotion to me that will forever enable me to stand.
