Why is it that some Christians experience spiritual depression? In this sermon on Romans 6:14 titled "Spiritual Depression," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones maintains that spiritual depression occurs wherever there is an ignorance of the Scriptures. He preaches this sermon, rooted in the apostle Paul's text, to sum up a couple of his former sermons covering the Christian's death to sin in Christ, as well as the Christian's new life in Christ. Dr. Lloyd-Jones then expounds upon Paul's application. If the Christian wants to live and enjoy the Christian life in victory, they have to realize the truths of their union with Christ. They are not commanded to act like it is true. They are told to realize, reckon, and regard that it is true. They are to be certain of victory over sin. The greatest comfort Christians can have in their spiritual depression is to know that because of the victory they have in Christ, sin no longer has dominion. Dr. Lloyd-Jones emphasizes that this can only be because of God's grace. The law condemns, but God's grace delivers. Under grace, Christians are brought more and more into God's glory, so that they yield to sin less and less until they are completely delivered.
