Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Authentic Christianity - Sermons from the Book of Acts

What does it mean to say that the Bible is a book of progressive revelation?
The perfect timing of God's eternal plan is revealed in His covenants.
Unbelievers, and even many professing Christians, do not understand the nature of or the reason for God's judgment.
Just as God called Abraham out of Mesopotamia into a land of promise that he would not even receive in his own earthly lifetime, so God calls upon men in all times to forsake this fallen world for the promised world to come.
Mankind must understand the vital, saving importance of Abraham's right response to God.
We live in an age of self-centeredness, not only in the world, but even in the church. But for the person who is truly saved, repentance and forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ are only the beginning. Christ's sanctifying call is then, "Follow Me." It is the call to a God-centered life.
Why is the Gospel rejected?
Darwinism is a hopeless philosophy that leaves all to time and chance. In stark contract, the Christian message is one of God's governing human history, working out His eternal purpose.
The account of Joseph, the deliverer of Egypt and of the fledgling nation of Israel, prefigures the power of Christ to save sinners and to redeem a cursed creation.
Secular humanism entirely misses the point of God's intervention in history.
