John MacArthur the Provisionist?

About this sermon

In this video, we examine a powerful statement from John MacArthur: “Believe while you can.” But that raises a serious question— if someone is born unable to believe, why would they be told to believe while they can? This breakdown explores that tension and what it means for the gospel, human responsibility, and the character of God. The core idea: if people are accountable for rejecting the gospel, then it must have been genuinely available to them. As argued in the video, people are rejecting a God who has provided what they need, not one who withheld it.
