Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is considered by many to be the greatest preacher of the 20th Century. He was born in Wales in 1899 and was a surgeon before being called to the ministry. He served as the minister of Westminster Chapel in London for almost 30 years and died in 1981. This video biography lasts a little over 10 minutes but is well worth the investment.

Would you like to be rid of this spiritual depression? The first thing you have to do is to say farewell now once and forever to your past. Realize that it has been covered and blotted out in Christ. Never look back at your sins again. Say: ‘It is finished, it is covered by the Blood of Christ.’ That is your first step. Take that and finish with yourself and all this talk about goodness, and look to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is only then that true happiness and joy are possible for you. What you need is not to make resolutions to live a better life, to start fasting and sweating and praying. No! You just begin to say:

I rest my faith on Him alone
Who died for my transgressions to atone.

—Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
