FAN ACCOUNT | Real: @johnmacarthur

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Sin has to be dealt with or it will destroy both those who practice it and those who tolerate it.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

If you don't have in the 66 books of the Bible, God didn't say it.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Persecution is not cause for rebellion but for patient endurance and righteousness.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

The mark of the mature [Christian] life is not sinlessness, which is reserved for heaven, but growing awareness of sinfulness.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Our circumstances and preferences don’t inform or liven up the Bible, dictate it’s meaning, or determine how it applies to our lives... Its meaning is fixed and applicable to everyone, everywhere.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Nothing is more wicked than for someone to claim to speak for God to the salvation of souls when in reality he speaks for Satan to the damnation of souls.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

The door into Christ’s kingdom is low, and no one who stands tall will ever go through it.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Don’t confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

God calls all children to be obedient and respectful. Obedience is the act; honor is the attitude.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Trials test the strength of our faith; wean us from earthly things; call us to eternal hope; reveal who we love; teach us to value God's blessing; enable us to help others; produce endurance, which equips us for greater usefulness; and mostly trials humble us.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

No one dies of overwork yet many die of worry.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

As we cannot begin the Christian life without humility, so we cannot live the Christian life with pride.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Without the resurrection, Jesus’ death becomes the heroic death of a noble martyr, the pathetic death of a madman, or the execution of a fraud.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Destroying Christianity requires that you destroy the resurrection.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

The resurrection is the pivot on which all of Christianity turns and without which none of the other truths would much matter. Without the resurrection, Christianity would be so much wishful thinking, taking its place alongside all other human philosophy & religious speculation.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

The cross is proof of both the immense love of God and the profound wickedness of sin.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

When believers are compelled by love for God, feel deep hatred for sin, reject the world, long for Christ's return, love other Christians, experience answered prayer, discern between truth and error, and long for Christlikeness, the work of the Spirit is evidenced.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

You take care of the depth of your ministry, and let God take care of the breadth of it.

You work on the quality of your shepherding and let God take care of the quantity of the sheep.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

You are the only Bible some unbelievers will ever read.

[John MacArthur @JMacArthurFan]

Nothing in the history of the world can match the significance reality that Jesus was raised from the dead.
