John MacArthur

“The ultimate reason for being is to glorify God.”
― John MacArthur

“If somebody sins against me, and somebody violates me, and somebody offends me, and my reaction in the human flesh would be to be angry, and bitter, and wrathful, and malicious, and slanderous, I stop and think, "But wait a minute, I don’t want anything out of them. After all, Jesus already bore that sin in His own body on the tree." Jesus already spilled His blood for that sin. What am I going to ask, what do I want, what more could there be? So next time you think you ought to have a vengeful attitude, next time you want to lash back at somebody, the next time you want to say an unkind word, or you want to be bitter towards somebody, next time you want to slander somebody, or whisper behind their back, or retaliate, or seek vengeance to somebody, remember that the very sin that they used against you, the very thing they did to you, Jesus already bore in His own body on the cross.”
