The Authority of the Gospel

April 17, 2024

2 Corinthians 4:1-6 — What authority does the Gospel come with? What authority did the apostles have to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ? In this sermon on 2 Corinthians 4:1-6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches on the authority of Scripture and how God uses His Word to command the Church to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The Gospel is not the product of clever human reasoning or philosophy. It is the work of Jesus Christ that is revealed in holy Scripture. Man cannot find it by searching for it, but man can only know the Gospel because God has graciously chosen to reveal it to man through His revelation. This is why the church of modern times must be like the apostles and proclaim the Gospel to all men; they must share the Good News that Jesus has died for sinners and risen from the grave for their justification! This sermon calls us all to examine ourselves to see if we have believed in this message of salvation from sins. For there is no other way to be saved than by believing in Jesus Christ.
