Citas de Martyn

• There is no better test as to whether a man is really preaching the New Testament gospel of salvation than the fact that some people might misunderstand it and misinterpret it to mean that it really amounts to this–that because you are saved by grace alone it does not matter at all what you do, that you can go on sinning as much as you like because it will abound all the more to the glory of grace. That is a very good test of gospel preaching. If my preaching and presentation of the gospel of salvation does not expose it to that misunderstanding, then it is not the gospel.

• Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

• We must not concentrate overmuch upon our feelings. Do not spend too much time feeling your own pulse taking your own spiritual temperature, do not spend too much time analyzing your feelings. That is the high road to morbidity.

• When a man truly sees himself, he knows nobody can say anything about him that is too bad.

• Holiness is not something we are called upon to do in order that we may become something; it is something we are to do because of what we already are.

• The ultimate test of my understanding of the scriptural teaching is the amount of time I spend in prayer. As theology is ultimately the knowledge of God, the more theology I know, the more it should drive me to seek to know God. Not to know about Him but to know Him! The whole object of salvation is to bring me to knowledge of God. If all my knowledge does not lead me to prayer there is something wrong somewhere.

• Si creemos que Jesús de Nazaret es el Hijo unigénito de Dios y que vino a este mundo y fue a la cruz del Calvario y murió por nuestros pecados y resucitó para justificarnos y darnos vida de nuevo y prepararnos para el cielo, si realmente crees eso, sólo hay una deducción inevitable, a saber, que Él tiene derecho a la totalidad de nuestras vidas, sin límite alguno.

• The Christian must abstain from sin. It is as simple and direct as that. You have no right to say, 'I am weak, I cannot, and temptation is very powerful.' The answer of the New Testament is, Stop doing it!

• The true preacher does not seek for truth in the pulpit; he is there because he has found it.

• Whether we like it or not, a breakdown in home-life will eventually lead to a breakdown everywhere. This is, surely, the most menacing and dangerous aspect of the state of society at this present time. Once the family idea, the family unit, the family life is broken up - once that goes, soon you will have no other allegiance.

• When the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first.

• The most urgent need in the Christian Church today is true preaching; and as it is the greatest and most urgent need in the Church it is obviously the greatest need of the world also.

• Do not expect, my friend, that the whole world will rejoice if you become Christian. You will probably receive enmity and hatred and persecution from certain people. It happened in the case of our Lord, and His followers must always be ready to meet it.

• The man or woman who is born of God, who is regenerate, simply does not and cannot continue-abide-in a life of sin. They may backslide temporarily, but if they are born of God they will come back. It is as certain as that they have been born again. It is the way to test whether or not someone is born again.

• The man who is meek is not even sensitive about himself. He is not always watching himself and his own interests. He is not always on the defensive… To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defending… The man who is truly meek never pities himself, he is never sorry for himself. He never talks to himself and says, “You are having a hard time, how unkind these people are not to understand you.

  Martyn

• No hay 'amor de Dios' para ti a menos que te hayas arrepentido o a menos que te arrepientas. No te equivoques. No confíes en el amor de Dios. Es sólo para el penitente; no hay entrada en el reino de Dios si no es por el arrepentimiento.

• La tragedia es que muchos de nosotros vivimos una vida cristiana desesperada. Llega el domingo y obtenemos algo de fuerza, y luego perdemos algo el lunes; una buena parte desaparece el martes y nos preguntamos si nos queda algo. El miércoles todo se ha ido y entonces existimos. O tal vez nos refrescamos de otra manera, asistiendo a alguna reunión o conociendo a algunos amigos. Ése es el viejo orden de las cosas, ése no es el nuevo. El pone un pozo dentro de nosotros. No siempre estamos sacando de algún lugar exterior. El pozo, el manantial, sigue brotando de nuestro interior hacia la vida eterna.
