Summary

Romans 10:14-17 — In this sermon on salvation from Romans 10:14–17 titled “Preaching and Salvation,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones dives into some of the fundamental questions of Christianity: How does one receive salvation? What is the eternal position of those who have not heard? How should the gospel be preached? These questions are important to faith and occur frequently in the mind of the believer. They may be a prevailing source of uncertainty or perhaps doubt. But Dr. Lloyd-Jones quenches these points of uncertainty by focusing on this passage and the interpretation of Paul’s discourse. He goes back to the basics, proclaiming that salvation comes to those who cry out to the Lord. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the dynamic role of preaching and says that it is important because, as Paul writes, believing comes through hearing the good news. The world today is filled with doubt regarding the path to heaven. Is Christ the only way? Dr. Lloyd Jones answers this by drawing upon Scripture and other Christian theologians and shedding light onto the unbeliever’s path, specifically those who have never heard the gospel. Are they beyond the reach of salvation? Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones returns to the Christian fundamentals. Hear the good news preached again and be reminded of God’s sovereign power and incredible love.

0:00.0	Now, the words that I want to call your attention to this evening are to be found in Paul's
0:05.3	Epistle to the Romans in chapter 10, reading from verse 14 to verse 17, from verse 14
0:13.7	to verse 17 in the 10th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the Romans.
0:18.8	How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed,
0:23.0	and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a
0:28.2	preacher, and how shall they preach except they be sent, as it is written, how beautiful are the
0:34.5	feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good
0:39.7	things? But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report,
0:49.3	so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
0:57.0	In other words, we are moving on tonight to a new subsection
1:00.5	in this 10th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the Romans.
1:05.7	Those of you who were here and will remember our analysis
1:08.7	of the entire chapter back last April or May whenever
1:14.0	it was, we'll remember that we indicated that this is one of the subdivisions of this chapter.
1:22.4	And these verses, from 14 to 17, do constitute a subsection of the entire argument of the chapter.
1:31.4	Now, we've got to start this evening, therefore, of necessity with the mechanics.
1:37.6	And it's very important that we should do so.
1:40.2	The apostle has a method, and he proceeds from step to step and stage to stage, and it is
1:45.9	important that we should see why he's doing it and how he does it, and why he does things
1:51.3	in the way in which he does them.
1:53.5	It's not enough merely to understand the particular teaching.
1:57.7	It is very interesting and important that we should be able to follow the way in
