Martyn Lloyd-Jones: The Essentials for Salvation

This sermon by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was preached on November 15th, 1963 in London, England. In this sermon the doctor teaches what are the essential truths that must be made known for a person to be saved. It is popular in modern churches to eliminate essential doctrines of the gospel in an attempt to make it less offensive and more accommodating. There is also a tendency within the church to excessively supplement the gospel, leading to a system of salvation based on good works that is unattainable for anyone. In this sermon, the doctor illustrates through the Scriptures that the gospel must contain an explanation of who Jesus is, His necessity, and His sufficiency. In this sermon, you will be reminded that a true evangelistic message should involve turning away from sin and having faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation (Romans 10:9-10).
