  • The meaning of God’s love has often been explained in a way that gives us a distorted understanding of who God is. In this session, John MacArthur will present the biblical doctrine of God’s love.

    This hits home so hard, as an adopted person unwanted on the day of birth...then adopted, crowned and provided with the very best, became a teen and played the harlot, in severe sin til early 20s making a mockery of the God and family who plucked me from the fire as an infant.... then he graciously saved my soul and clothed me in righteousness and new life which beams forth brighter each day. Now I'm 32 and working on my foster license. God is GRACIOUS and MIGHTY TO SAVE. Praise Jesus Christ the KING 💝

      @@imag218 I'm still quite new in my spirituality & im often contemplating what God's will is and His will is what is in the bible, we don't need any love, except that which comes from Him, we only need God's love and FELLOWSHIP of the righteous, unfortunately, even family can be unrighteous... Should we seek love from them? Man is fallable. Im fortunate enough to have a mother that has provided earthly things (the love of a parent, shelter, food, security, education within her means)
      I was abandoned by my father, i don't know who he is, so i cannot relate to the horrors this gentleman faced, but God recently revealed to me, that the only love I need is His, because I went looking for love in ALL the wrong places (I had a "an older daddy syndrome" but in as as much as I love my earthly mother, when i have to choose, without a heartbeat, i will ALWAYS choose God

      @@PiweMtinjana again I'll say, what would have become of my vulnerable infant life if it had not been for the hands and feet of those who follow Christ on earth? Dumpster grave. Yes Jesus is sufficient, people dont really need to be married, etc.etc. But our model is Christ. Did he hide in a cave getting loved by the father all by himself? No, he poured out his life to the entire community while walking the earth. Remember, God will give us over to a reprobate mind after he had shown us the truth and we reject it. So it's not unusual for people who claim to love Jesus to be completely and utterly deceived. I've never met a biological relative. Yet my sense of the importance of family is strong. Why? Because of Christian's who loved me selflessly. I hope the community that God designed to edify your life will come to you, so you dont have to find them. It doesn't need to be big, or often, but Jesus lives IN his people. "The kingdom of heaven is in you." And he made us all 1 body. "There is 1 body but many parts. All its many parts make up 1 body. It is the same with Christ." -1 Corinthians 12:12. There is no such thing as a Foot that walks around all by itself. It is attached to a body, or it is dead. Many blessing to you. I hope this finds you well.

      @@faithparent9221 I've watched the question and answer session where John MacArthur was asked about taking the mark of the beast. His answer was to the effect that, if you are CAPABLE of repentance for taking it, and since the Bible tells of ONLY ONE unforgivable sin, then theoretically you could be forgiven.
      We don't know how the mark of the beast will come about, perhaps it will be possible for someone to receive the mark without really understanding the full ramifications, and afterwards to repent. Or, perhaps the mark will be taken only by those whose hearts are so hardened toward God that they will never repent.
      Either way, God has the final say, as I'm sure John MacArthur would agree. But, John was just answering an hypothetical question, possibly asked by someone who was concerned about friends or family making a decision they would regret.
      I wish people would stop jumping to conclusions and judging him on a comment he made once, in answer to an hypothetical question.
      He's never actually preached such a thing.

      Hoaxer Christian writers who created the resurrection hoax did not realize that the sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a superstitious God who values blood-sacrifice, which was a common practice back then (e.g. sacrificing a goat for a new home). Do you have difficulty admitting that the superstitious early folks who valued blood sacrifice created the God of The Bible in their own image?

      @@susiedyck4914 He doesn't really contradict himself - not if you take everything he says in the context in which he says it. Actually, he often explains the so-called contradictions in scripture.
      God DOES love the whole world, which is why he hasn't obliterated it so far, and which is why He pours out His grace on the whole world (sunshine and rain, beauty and love). But, He has a special love for His elect, which makes perfect sense if you consider the natural love people have for their OWN families 😁
      As far as the mark of the beast issue, he never actually TAUGHT what he has been accused of.
      It happened in a question and answer session that someone asked him a hypothetical question about it. His answer was to the effect that it isn't mentioned in the Bible as the UNFORGIVABLE SIN, so if someone is ABLE to repent for taking it then they could receive forgiveness. The question would be, are they able? There is no forgiveness unless they do repent.
      We don't know how the mark of the beast will come about, so we don't know if someone could receive it without really understanding the full ramifications. Or, take the mark and then come to the Lord.
      The question was hypothetical anyway.
      Anyway, I've watched the video where John MacArthur was asked the question, and I'm sorry and annoyed that everyone seems so intent on condemning him on 2nd-hand, hearsay information which is not giving the full story.
      Hope this clears things a bit for you 😁👍👍

      Susan According to the story of Job you have this Omnipotent God who is being challenged by a mere angel a being he created this angel has to be aware that God knows everything so God takes the bet. The result of the Challenge is that an upright man's life is almost completely destroyed. He's tormented physically and psychologically all because his Creator wants to prove something to this measly little angel. Does that make sense? God even allows satan to take Job's family. But this wonderful God then gives Job a new family. He makes it all better in the end. This is Heinous! How many people do you think would accept God's will if he decided to let your family die, have you physically and psychologically Tortured? How would you be if God allowed your son, daughter, wife, or husband to be killed all over a BET? Would you be ok with it since God promised to replace your family with a new one. Please give a honest answer.

    Wow! Amazing insight and understanding. Thank you Dr John for sharing. I never understood that God’s primary love is for His Son Christ Jesus. Jesus came to save the World, not to condemn it. God loves us with an eternal love only when we belong to His Son, when we are part of His Holy Living Body. For God is from everlasting to everlasting, therefore we know that God loves His Son Christ Jesus from everlasting to everlasting. As Paul writes, when we are born again (not of the lust of men but by the power of the Holy Spirit of God) we are from that moment eternally joined with Jesus and are seated with Him in the heavenly realms at the right hand of God our Heavenly Father. Gods love for us is therefore the same eternal love He has always had and will always have for His Son Christ Jesus. Amazing grace, amazing love. I am so grateful that I am so loved, even when I was a totally lost sinner, Jesus never gave up on me. Praise God for His gracious, merciful, and life giving love.

I love all true shepherds of our Lord Jesus Christ, who never compromise the word of God, but speak the truth in love, this is always true of John MacArthur, he never deviates from the truth of Scripture never. Thank you Lord for John MacArthur, who is like apostle Paul of our day, please give him the years of Moses full of health and faithfulness to the end. Lord Jesus, be glorified in your true church, raise up more godly shepherds like John MacArthur, who love you and are full of Your Holy Spirit with the truth of your word, and the true gospel of Christ, and who are fearless to proclaim it for for your name sake and your glory. Watch over them Lord, and protect them from Satan, and all those who hate them, and want to do them harm. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness to all your children whom you will bring to glory, and your faithfulness to the ungodly who die in their sins, they will stand before you in judgment and bow their knees before you, along with Satan and his demons, all will confess with their tounge, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Bless all those who love you in truth Lord Jesus, Amen. 🙏

      The problem lies in the question of WHO defines people as good, or evil?
      If it's other people, then which of those people, since everyone's ideas of who is deserving and who isn't, is so varied? I don't think I'd like my eternal destiny to be in the hands of a fallible human being like myself.

His Love shown in that you must be as a child to come to him. His love shown in how he draws us out of the darkness, which we loved but poisined our hearts, to pluck us out and show us the greatest gift in all of eternity JESUS CHRIST! Just look to him! He's truely amazing its crazy!
    BTW noticed that whenever the preachers preach a great sermon they always have a cool backround john piper- the glory of God in the sight of eternity, Paul washers classic hand cast messages, all Zac Poonen

    Let love rain, like sweet mercy from heaven. Let mercy flow like waves and waves flowing richly from the heart of God. May love arise ... may mercy come forth ... may love and mercy bring forth hearts of compassion. Compassion for the lost, compassion for the thirsty, compassion for the hungry, compassion for the poor, compassion for the homeless, compassion for others. Not in just words or deeds done, but from the depths of the heart seeking to give Glory to God through open arms embracing the needs of others.
    May we look with the heart of God. May we see with his eyes or mercy and compassion and may we do all things to His Glory. For the river of God is love, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is sweet mercy, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is compassion, may they see it in our eyes, hear it from our hearts and see it through open arms embracing the needs of others. - May we place others even before ourselves.

    Wow....Perhaps the best sermon on GOD'S love I have ever heard. It makes me understand that GOD is really GOD. HE is nothing like us humans. HE is so worthy and we are so unworthy, and yet HE sovereignly chose to save some from the scrapheap of humanity when HE could have rightly sent the whole world to hell. There are some hard pills to swallow in this sermon. I hope no one leaves this sermon feeling smug, arrogant and self - righteous as some Calvinists tend to do. This should humble you. You are loved, But INSPITE of you.
