Quote by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“So to receive means that you not only know him in the sense of recognizing him and acknowledging him, but you also receive everything and you delighted in the fact that the Son of God has come and done what he has done. Why do you receive him? There is only one answer. The only ones who receive Christ are those who see their need of him. Those who realize their own weakness, their own emptiness, their own sinfulness, take him as he is. They say 'He is just what I want. Someone must die for me. Someone must give me strength and power. He gives me all.”

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister and preacher who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London.
Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to the liberal theology that had become a part of many Christian denominations, regarding it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations, taking the view that true Christian fellowship was only possible amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.
