Overview

If you’ve ever asked, “Why am I the way that I am? Why is life so hard? Is there any hope?” you’ll find answers in Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ study of Genesis.

In this series of sermons, beloved teacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones walks readers through the early chapters of Genesis. The Gospel in Genesis starts with the fall of man and ends with the call of Abram as it examines portions of chapters 3–12. Along the way, Lloyd-Jones talks of serpents and sin, the Word of God, and the Babel of man. But the destination of The Gospel in Genesis is clear: readers will be moved from fig leaves in the garden to faith in the Gospel.

Thus Lloyd-Jones preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the pages of Genesis. These nine sermons will embolden believers to share the only Gospel that offers answers to life’s biggest questions.

In the Logos edition of The Gospel in Genesis, you get easy access to Scripture texts and to a wealth of other resources in your digital library.

“Certain truths that the Bible tells us are absolute essentials if we are to understand ourselves and the world in which we live. So what does it have to tell us? Well, the whole case is put in the first three chapters of the book of Genesis. We have here the complete biblical view of history and of humanity.” (Page 7)

“But still more serious, the Devil insinuated a doubt about the goodness of God” (Page 28)

“God comes, but man runs and hides. He runs away from God, his only benefactor, his only Saviour” (Page 46)

“First, as a result of listening to the serpent, the man and woman began to doubt God’s power” (Page 25)

“But the modern panaceas never do that, do they? The psychologist starts with you and ends with you, and so do all the others.” (Page 9)
