John MacArthur

Len Flatoff here living in
Junction City Wisconsin! I´m a Local Truck Driver now and listened To your Half Hour show on 98.9 out of Tomah Wisconsin! You Will Truely be missed and I will continue listening to it every day! My Condolences go out to your family and friends and the staff and great People at Grace to you!

Thanking God still, even after John MacArthur´s passing for how the Lord used him to tirelessly declare the Truth to millions, including me. I have grown in Christ because of John´s faithful delivery of the Inerrant Word through the years and know that others were impacted as well. To God be the glory for making His glorious salvation known to once hell-bound sinners, of which I was chief. We are reminded of God´s grace when we consider the countless messages that God has brought to our ears through His servants, like John MacArthur.

We will miss hearing your messages on the radio . I have never met you, but I'm looking forward to meeting you in heaven.

Pastor John has impacted so many lives and will continue through his past sermons. Condolences and Prayers for the MacArthur family.

John MacArthur has influenced my walk with Christ since the very beginning when at VA Tech 30 years ago. Within 6 months of being saved, roommates who were involved with the charismatic movement were sharing information that I didn't understand. My pastor gave me Charismatic Chaos, and it was the start of what would become my husband's and my library, which now has many MacArthur volumes. Our family has benefitted tremendously from Grace to You, from the sermons to books. We are praying for Patricia, the rest of the family, Phil Johnson and the GTY team. Rejoicing has never been so easy as when thinking of this godly servant, yet the loss is great. It is a joy to know we can fully trust God's timing.

Was so blessed by John Mac Arthurs teaching and his faith in our Lord and Savior. He was just the best. My husband and listened to him since 1977. He and my husband are now with the Lord.

During the plandemic, I was greatly blessed by the Grace To You letters from Pastor John, along with daily articles from Dr. Gary North.

They both are gone to be with the Lord now. So grateful for Pastor John's decades of faithful ministry. Thank you most of all for continually pointing us to Jesus Christ, the true power of the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.

Thank you Lord Jesus for this wonderful man. I never knew him personally but I felt this loss. Praying for his family and church congregation.

I´m so thankful to the Lord for the time He gave us with John MacArthur and the faithful teaching of His Word through him. What a gift to sit under such sound doctrine rooted in Scripture. My heart feels the weight of sadness at his passing-yet somehow, it´s mingled with deep joy, knowing he is now with the Savior he loved and served so well.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." - Psalm 116:15

From Abraham Rivera in North Carolina -
I listen to John MacArthur bible teachings every morning for years. I fall in love on how he presented the gospel message. He was clear, strict and direct. He was a passionate pastor that loved Jesus, the bread of life and the truth. A pastor that wasn´t ashamed of the gospel no matter where he was invited to be. He wasn´t afraid talking about any biblical topic regarding sin, repentance, heaven, hell, condemnation, immorality etc.
He was truly one of a kind, and I will miss him dearly.
John MacArthur is now rejoicing in heaven for ever in the hands of our Lord and Savior.
My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

I remember back in the 80's as a kid growing up I would ride in my dad's old blue truck as he went to work. During the 30 minute commute we would listen to Bro. MacArthur on Grace to you. Those messages have remained with me through adulthood and now I find myself streaming those same messages in my vehicle as my daughter and I drive to our destinations. Bro MacArthur, thank you for rightly dividing the word of truth. Thank you for choosing Christ above all else. The Word of God will continue in your legacy. Thank you for your example. In Christ - M. Katlyn Jones

Every day at 7pm, and 12:30pm on Saturday´s, on WHVN Charlotte, our radio would be tuned in to listen to John MacArthur. My mama listened unwavering. The sound of his voice filled our home. My mama is Home with the Lord; and now John MacArthur, unwavering in his message of the truth of God´s Word, is at rest, IN the Lord! At Home WITH Him! Thank you for integrity in preaching God´s Word.

I don´t think I could have made it through college without John MacArthur. The ministry he started at UCLA was a godsend for many of us navigating the ups and downs of young adulthood with little support. The man was a phenomenal teacher, and my faith grew volumes while attending his church.

Enjoy your forever home, John!

John, oh how the Lord has prepared a special place for you. Your tireless efforts have produced so much fruit, the baskets are overflowing. Thank you Father God for lifting brother John´s voice and delivering his messages to hungry hearts, lost souls and the broken. John, you truly allowed the Holy Spirit to flow out of you. Thank you for guiding, encouraging and convicting me with biblical scripture. May the Lord comfort your family and fill them with the joy that your word has promised believers. I will continue to persevere so I can shake your hand in heaven brother. Until we meet again.

Maria Lopez

I started listening to you back in the early 80s. I was working the janitor´s night shift in a huge industrial building; had my mop bucket, a small little portable cassette player with "Grace To You" sermons on cassettes in my backpack. I learned so much from your tapes. Technology has changed, but your message did not! Thank you, sir, for your faithful service to God´s word, and to the faithful teaching of His flock. I look forward to meeting you in heaven! In the meantime, I´ll be praying for your family´s peace, and keep listening and reading.

Will miss his wonderful teaching and am so glad that his sermons can be accessed still on the internet. He was one of my most preferred teachers over the last few years and has been a blessing to follow on the internet. He was one of our greatest teachers in modern times. Will continue to listen to his many sermons over and over again.

Though we've never met in person, you've had a profound impact on my life. Your sermons, rooted deeply in Scripture and spoken with unwavering conviction, have not only touched my heart but helped guide my walk with Christ through both calm and stormy seasons.

Your steadfast faith, your boldness in truth, and your love for the Word have been a lighthouse for so many of us. I have listened to your messages for years and studied alongside your Bible teachings, each time feeling as if you were speaking directly to my spirit. The conversations you shared with your dear friend, Dr RC Sproul, were not only enlightening but also comforting and lighthearted and I often revisit them as a source of strength and encouragement.

Thank you for giving your life to Christ so completely-and for giving your time, heart, and wisdom to teach others. I am eternally grateful for the way God used you in my life and in the lives of so many others. You stood firm in your faith, and we are stronger because of it.

May the Lord bless you richly for your faithfulness, the seeds you've sown will bear fruit for generations to come.

With Love in Christ,
Lori Otto

Our condolences to the MacArthur family. Pastor John is an amazing teacher. My husband and I watch his teachings hours at a time. His sermons always keep us inspired as we study along with. He will forever have a special place in our hearts. Rest in peace Pastor John.

John MacArthur was the greatest preacher of our time. The most dedicated preacher and teacher of The Word I have ever heard. He never compromised The Word, and would boldly speak forth the Word of God. He never backed down from anyone who tried to challenge him. How he will be missed is enormous, but I know he is in Heaven with Jesus seeing Him face to face. Glory be to God our Father for giving us John ..my sincere sympathies to Patrica and his children. What a wonderful man .

I really loved hearing him. Preach, I didn´t know that much about him to hear recently, but hearing his past sermons, this man was solid in Christ may God bless you and your family.

I am a Brazilian pastor. I am grateful for the first opportunity I had to be with Pastor John in 1995, and for the many times I attended the Shepherd´s Conference, being encouraged to remain focused on the authority of Scripture and the person of the Lord Jesus. Blessed be the Lord for Pastor John´s life. May the Lord´s comfort be upon all his family and the church.

I have and cherish my MacArthur study Bible and I will keep it all my days because I believe this man interpreted the Holy Scriptures as they should be interpreted I and everyone who cherishes the truth will miss this great and obedient man of God.

I am so thankful to the Lord for Dr. MacArthur's ministry - decades of ministry. Grace to You and the Masters University have been such a blessing to me, now and always. I could listen to Dr. MacArthur's sermons all day long - such a godly man! I look forward to the day when I can rejoice with all the great saints in heaven at Christ's return where I will see Dr. MacArthur again! Peace and blessing to the families!

Heaven´s gain...our loss!PTL gor the wealth of his writings on His Word!

This must have been the man who was responsible for my study bible, given to me by my husband. It has been such a blessing with notes. The book is losing the binding but still I am using it. Thank you.

Oh how I will miss Pastor John. I loved him so much, yet I have never met him. I've listened to his sermons for over 30 years on the radio, on the internet, and at the Truth Matters Conference in KY. His preaching has deepened my faith, taught me so much, and strengthened me through my worst trials. I take comfort knowing he is with the Savior. Well done thou good and faithful servant. God Bless him, his family, Grace church, and all at Grace to You. Sending My Love to you all. Linda Murphy, Winchester, Virginia.

Faithful preacher of our time.

Thank you for your unwavering service to our God Almighty! My heartfelt prayers for comfort and peace to Patricia, his wife and all his family and friends. I´ll always listen to your sermons and get a big kick out your humor you throw them!
You and Dr Charles Stanley are now living with our Living God and Lord and Savior Jesus and I
Hope to get to meet you both some day and live with Our Lord Jesus forever and ever!

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

So thankful that he stayed the course, walked what he preached. A godly man for thousands.

I downloaded the Study Bible app about two years ago and never heard before of John MacArthur and what an incredible find he alone has brought me closer to the Lord. May God bless and comfort the MacArthur family during this great loss.

I Thank God For, "The Masters (College) University." The opportunity to attend the school during Dr. MacArthurs first year as President. To be able to attend Grace Community Church while I was in Southern California. I have always longed to go back and continue to study and learn more about God. This man has had the greatest influence in my desire to follow Jesus. Thank God for his faithful teaching, pastoring, shepherding, writing and praying. His radio ministry and the depth and breadth of his knowledge of our Heavenly Father. "To God be the Glory." Be Lifted High!

Thank you for your boldness and for always preaching the truth. Your words inspired me and gave me hope and made this walk more more inspiring to follow and get closer to Jesus. I love you

I cry
He blessed my soul and so intelligent

Johns preaching brought my wife and me closer to Jesus. We live in Ohio but would always hop on a plane to visit Crace Church. We will miss him so much, Prayers for the family, Grace Church and Grace To You...

His teaching meant so very much to me. I have been listening to him through radio and in his books. I pray that I will be able to talk to him when I get to heaven.

Thanks be to God for John MacArthur and his wonderful ministry, Grace to You.
I am from Pennsylvania and follow his daily messages, for which I am thankful and blessed.
The angels and saints in Heaven rejoiced at his arrival.
John MacArthur, you will surely be missed.

Thank you, Pastor MacArthur. God has used you so graciously in our families lives. Thank you for your faithfulness to the scriptures. We will miss you.

I am so grateful to have learned so much about the Lord through John´s teachings. I will forever be blessed through Grace to you!

I loved you Bible teachings

Grateful for the two opportunities I was blessed to attend Shepherd´s Conference (2022,2023) and be impacted in my life, calling and ministry...well done Pastor John...to live is Christ and to die IS gain!

John MacArthur is and has been my favorite pastor and teacher for many years now, and will continue to be so as I continue listen to him on the radio. He is probably the most impressive person to listen to I have ever heard because of his ability to speak in such a clear and expounding manner. I've never heard another person speak quite like John. He literally blows me away in some of his teachings which I have passed on to many others. He got better and better as he slowed his manner of speaking down a bit in his last 10 to 20 years of preaching. There will probably never be another preacher/teacher come around at least in my lifetime quite like John MacArthur. He is blessed now to get to be with the Lord and out of this crazy world...

Condolence Message to Dr John MacArthur's family. I thank God for John MacArthur, I wish there were a thousand ministers like John was. I have learned more about the meaning of Scripture from John than I have from any other Bible teacher. My heart is sadden because of his passing. I looked to his ministry of the Word along with that of the apostle Paul. My thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for His Salvation and calling John MacArthur into the Ministry. Mack Crum, Minister, Montgomery Ala 334 320 3068.

Thankyou Lord for John McCarther. I have a better understanding of Gods word because of Him.

His sermon "Saved or Self Deceived" changed my hard heart. I owe it to his preaching as means to my conversion. Thank you John, for everything.

My heart is broken hearing of your loss. I thank God for you and your sermons. You truly gave us the word of God! Your words will forever be spoken. You changed many lives and homes by your love and dedication to Christ. You will be greatly missed. Praying for your family during these times. We celebrate your life!!

my condolences to Pastor MacArthur's family. I became familiar with his teaching through his radio ministry several years ago. I truly believe that he never buried from the truth and stuck to preaching the gospel and teaching strictly by the Scriptures.
His teaching has blessed me and my wife and helped us to grow. God bless him richly! And may God bless each of you. I am so sorry for your loss.

John MacArthur was one of the most influential Pastors in my life. I listed to his cassette tapes all the time in the 90´s and 2000. His book, "Grace Awakening" profoundly changed my life!!! It was a humble honor to meet him & hear him preach at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN ~ and to also meet Pastor Adrian Rodgers. What a powerful night that was! I will always be grateful to God for his ministry & the amazing blessing of him praying over me.

I was blessed the first time I listened to Pastor John MacArthur on Ligonier Ministries. Then I started following him at Grace Community Church. I learned so much from his messages from wherever. Thanks be to GOD for sending such a servant. Peace be to his Wife, family, Church family, and all friends.

Pastor MacArthur had a boldness like no other. He will be greatly missed

Thank you so much Pastor John for the many messages that were instrumental in guiding us to a clear walk with Christ by providing sound doctrine through expository preaching. Deanna and I look forward to seeing you in heaven.

I am so glad and thankful Patricia for all you all did for our family. Spiritually and your love will always be remembered.

How lovely on the mountains
Are the feet of him who proclaims good news,

Who announces peace
And proclaims good news of good things,

Who announces salvation,
And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
- Isaiah 52:7

Prayers of peace and comfort for the MacArthur family, friends, and mourners all over the world.

The impact of John's ministry upon my life will last forever. Thank you Yahweh for raising up faithful preachers that reveal Your glorious gospel through the proclamation of Your word..amen!

Well done good and faithful servant.
In glory with the Lord.

My Name is Jennifer Tedder and I live in the Uk. I came across Grace to you church and John MacArthur on YouTube and starting listening to his sermons and my daughter also listens to him He has made an impact on our faith in Christ Jesus the Lord although we are already believers. Our hearts are so heavy right now at this very sad news but we know in our hearts that he´s with the Lord right now.
Rest in peace John MacArthur and I pray God may you comfort and strengthen his family at this difficult time

I can only imagine what he's seeing and doing right now in heaven. His books and messages have been and will continue to be such a help and blessing in my life. After all the teaching and evangelizing he did, I'm sure he heard, "well done, my good and faithful servant. " May God bless and comfort his family and friends during their time of grief.

Thank you pastor. Ive enjoyed wathing you and learning from you. Love reading your books. You sir will be missed. God bless the family.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalms 116:15. I hope and pray for his wife of 62 years, as well as their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren are comforted and strengthen during this time of sorrow, grief and pain. "I've been enriched by my YouTube pastor John MacArthurs teachings on a Playlist I am enjoying and applying in my life. May God grant the family and loved ones peace .

This man's ministry was a gift from God to all of us. Thank You Father God for giving us such clear and faithful teaching through Your servant.

Pastor John´s ministry was used by our almighty God to set me free from the name it and claim it RHEMA movement after being there for over 20 years. I am reformed! I will always Love him and Grace ministries for this. Tears and Thanksgiving fill my heart with his passing

My most sincere condolences to the MacArthur family, Grace Community Church and my other brothers and sisters in Christ mourning the passing of our beloved Pastor John. I am grateful to the Holy Spirt that dwelled within this man and grateful for his boldness, obedience and steadfast commitment to teaching and preaching God´s Word in truth and without compromise. Pastor John will be missed but the Lord allowed him to leave a legacy of faith and so many sermons and books pointing us to our Savior Jesus with verse by verse teaching; so all I can say is, thank you Jesus for your faithful servant who is now with You forever.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-Jocelyn

I´ll miss your Godly presence in our church and on this earth Pastor John .
I´ve learned so much from and thank the LORD for you ... thank you Pastor John .
Enjoy Paradise .

GOD hold his family close, and he will be missed. I always loved his delivery of the gospel, and I respect his boldness to the world, media, and leaders.
Amen, in Jesus name I request peace.

Dr. MacArthur has influenced my Christian life more than anyone else. I have listened to him for so many years. Although I never got to meet him personally, I look forward to meeting him, & all those who have trusted Christ for their salvation, one day.

To the family of Pastor MacArthur,
Please know that Pastor MacArthur touched my and my wife's life every day for years. We are grateful to You for supporting him in His service to The Lord, and Grateful to the Lord for his life and the ministry that has given us so much Truth from God's Precious Word.
Dennis and Linda Everett

A great scholar of God´s word and teacher to many that sought to learn about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirt. Your books are forever in my heart with great appreciation of your insight. You have helped shape my faith. Rest in peace.

Pastor MacArthur impacted me and my walk with the Lord immensely. It all started with a free study Bible his ministry offered. What a blessing that was. I was talking to a young lady at work this morning about Pastor MacArthur, and how his study Bible really helped me understand better, along with his preaching. She said she would like one herself, so I brought it to her after work and passed it on. I had to order myself another but it's absolutely okay. Gifting it to her after it was gifted to me was such an incredible blessing. I look forward to meeting you in glory, Pastor <3

John has been an inspiration to both of us. Patricia and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.

My daughter and I met Pastor John MacArthur after attending his church service a few years ago. We traveled from Utah to hear him preach. I wanted to thank him personally for helping us during our time of grief after my husband died. I knew immediately he was someone who lived what he taught. I will never forget his kind, sincere and gentle manner. He took the time to speak with us and even prayed for us.
His faithfulness to God was evident in his commitment to teaching the truth through God's word. I listened daily to the Grace to You radio program and read various books written by Pastor MacArthur. I also got the MacArthur Study Bible. His influence is wide- reaching and cannot be fully measured in this lifetime. I am immensely grateful to God for the life of this man. May his family be comforted knowing he is in the presence of the Lord whom he served so faithfully.

My sincerest sympathies to his wife Patricia, children, grandchildren, and leaders of his beloved church. May the peace and strength of our Lord be with you all. Pastor John MacArthur teaching, inspiring sermons will forever be cherished.

I was so heartbroken when I heard of Pastor John MacArthur´s passing. He preached the truth in love, with boldness, in season and out of season. His love for the truth and the WORD of God was matchless and uncompromisingly. He was such an encouragement to my walk with Christ, especially during COVID in 2020.

He pointed many to Christ. He fought the good fight, he finished the race, and kept the faith. Truly a Man of God who was courages in keeping the doors open during the pandemic. He wasn´t ashamed of God WORD, stood firm to God´s WORD; a pillar of truth in an age of confusion, a faithful shepherd, and a voice that never wavered.

So thankful for John MacArthur´s ministry and I will forever remember him in helping me grow closer to God. His legacy will live on forever and I pray that one day I will get a chance to meet him personally in heaven. All Glory to God Almighty for sharing this faithful servant with me. Rest in peace, beloved Shepard.

Love in Christ,
Maria Resendes and family

Thanks for your teachings, true Man of God! Thanks again for the clarity you brought forth about the path to salvation , effective prayer and spiritual growth! May You rest peacefully!

Pastor John MacAuthur was as faithful a preacher that I know of and one of the Church´s greatest expositors of God´s Word. I have listened to him day after day for the last 15 years or so. My journey with his preaching began when I was a young pastor looking for role models for clear, expository preaching. What began as a search for a preacher to emulate turned into a hunger to get more and more of the Bible for my own growth! He will be greatly missed, and while I mourn alongside those who had grown to love him, I also rejoice with those who rejoice at his home going to see his Savior!

I have listened to him for years on Moody Broadcast. I loved his Grace to you program. He was such a wonderful Bible teacher. I will so miss him.

This Man helped me to see the FACE of GOD more than any other Servant of Christ -Thanks God He gave us this Man

Thank you for the clarity and truth of the scriptures you taught my family and me over the years! "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." You will me missed but not forgotten! See ya soon!

Minot, ND

I attended the Masters Seminary and GCC. Benefitted from John´s ministry a great deal. His death and now being home in heaven reminds me of legacy and what will endure when each of us face death.

So sorry for your precious and godly husbands departure to heaven. Brunnieheath

Mi corazón y el de mi esposa extrañará profundamente las enseñanzas y las predicas del pastor MacArthur. Que disfrute por toda la eternidad de la presencia de nuestro Creador.

Jaime Beltran y Maria de Beltran.

I became aware of John MacArthur probably 20 years ago when I started studying Biblical Counseling in Bible college and had to read several of his books on counseling and discipleship. I also started reading his daily devotionals and still do to this day. He has helped me grow more than any man I know, but I do realize I´ve been helped by others as well. I look forward to meeting him in glory and telling him "thanks pastor John." Rest in peace brother....

WRBS in Baltimore,MD, started broadcasting him in 1977. Got his national popularity then.I started listening in 1982. Then,started listening to his father,jack at same time. Both now in heaven. Well done thy good and faithful servant. Clinton Moores Balt, md

i am grateful for you in the Lord Jesus Christ´s work. blessings to your family & loved ones.

Next to my Mother who led me to the Lord when I was 10 years old, John MacArthur has been the one who has impacted my life most spiritually speaking by his preaching, teaching and writing. I started listening to his taped messages in the mid to late 1970s. Tremendous blessing in my life. So thankful for everything he has done and his faithfulness to God's truth and expository preaching.
Ed Christner, Warsaw, In

He was a great, Godly man who helped many grow closer to our Lord. Will still be alive for me as I use many of his resources for spiritual growth!

Thank you for never compromising the Truth about Jesus Christ and His Word.

Rest In Peace Sir! I learned so much from your preaching of the Word. Thank you!

Remembering Pastor John MacArthur; one of the greatest christian giant in our generation who had impacted my life and whose impact is continuous in Christ even after his passing and into my future generation. Praying for comfort for his widow Patricia, his family, church and Christians like me who are mourning his loss .

Thank you, sir, for your help and hard work. Enjoy your reward!

The man that God used to change my ministry forever. Thank you JMac!

I recently started listening to his preaching, he had wonderful biblical knowledge. I will continue learning from him, he was an asset to the Christian community, and will be until the end of days.

I am so heartbroken to hear of pastor Macarthurs passing. Not sad for him, but sad for his family members and myself. I know he is right where he belongs! Worshipping our creator whom he loves so much!
I have listened to John daily for the past six+ years. As I will continue to do. He changed my life by pointing me to the Lord.
Blessings to his family during this difficult time...
Lisa

Pastor MacArthur you will be truly missed. I am so blessed and grateful for your ministry. You have taught me so much. Praying for your family and our church. Well done faithful servant.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant. "On Monday July 14, 2025, Hope Church Pastor, John MacArthur, returned to The House Of The Father." You're now in Heaven with Jesus.
Rest in Peace!!

Rest in peace, Soldier of the Lord!

You gave the Word to our generation. Our Lord has called you home. We'll done, good and faithful servant.

While the passing of a Christian is hardest for the ones who mourn their passing, we praise God now Pastor John is with his Lord and Savior. I've listened and watched him preach for 20 years or more, not knowing him personally it feels like I lost a family member or a close friend. My condolences to all his family and GCC. He will be dearly missed this side of Heaven.

By So grateful for Dr MacArthur for his excellent and inspiring teaching on just about every book of the Bible. I pray for his family and grateful for a servant of God who has done his work very well.
I know he´s happy in the presence of our Lord. Lou Patrick

The United States has lost a great saint. Our loss is heaven's gain. All Glory to God Almighty.
