1 Peter 2:9 — What is the greatest problem in the world? According to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones it is not how to stop war, or end famine, but it is how a holy God can forgive sinners. This is the great enigma of human existence, for all men are born in sin and in a fallen state wholly opposed to God and His righteous law. God must punish sin because he is holy and just. How can this be resolved? Preaching from 1 Peter 2:9, Dr. Lloyd-Jones brings forth the great hope we have because God sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to die a sinner’s death so that the Law might be fulfilled. Sinners can be saved because of what God has done in Christ Jesus by repenting of their sins and believing in Christ. All who believe are given a new nature that seeks God and desires holiness. For Christ is the head of a new humanity that is being perfected and brought to completion as the Holy Spirit enlightens their minds and grants them eyes of faith to see God’s truth. This is the result of God pouring out his love and grace on undeserving sinners, making them new creatures in Christ Jesus.
