The Supreme Need – A Sermon on 1 Peter

“Gird up the loins of your mind.” By nature people live lives by lust. In this sermon on 1 Peter 1:17 titled “The Supreme Need,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses humanity’s greatest and most desperate need. The supreme need is to know God. This is a need the world cannot fulfill. All will be judged by God for their relationship to Him. No one is merely a spectator in this life. Learn of the search for happiness, peace, and the knowledge of God in Scripture. Many things tell about God, but they do not bring anyone to Him. The signs and suggestions of creation bring people to a knowledge of God as Creator: “Man by searching cannot, and has not found God.” Learn of the only way one can come to a knowledge of the one God who reigns over all. Everyone has been created by God, but not everyone is a child of God. God hates evil and calls all to a standard of holiness: “Be ye holy because I am holy.” All people need the mercy, grace, strength, and power that only God can provide. There is access to the household of God through the blood of Christ.
