Flesh or Spirit?

2 Corinthians 5:16 — The world cannot be changed. “The only way Christianity helps is it changes us.” Take a different view of yourself and of man — you are a rebel against God. The most important question to ask is, “what think ye of Christ?” Christianity is Christ. How do you view Him? We are called to be ambassadors for Christ and we will be held accountable for our lives. We cannot take risks — “your eternal destiny depends on your view of Christ.” In this sermon on 2 Corinthians 5:16, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones discusses how the Spirit of God must unveil your eyes to your standing before God. You cannot come before God justified on your own; you are but a child before Him. Rejoice in that God humbled Himself to come to this earth! It is not the mere death of a martyr. Jesus died in our place. Christ alone triumphs in His shame. Know the terror of the Lord, and rejoice in the mercy of the Lord. How can man become righteous before God if his best works are but filthy rags and damnation? Be ye reconciled to God in faith.
