Overview

The Bible’s teaching on God’s love, holiness, and sovereignty is often met with questions about human responsibility, suffering, and evil. If God is in control of everything, can we make free choices? If God is good and all-powerful, how can we account for natural disasters and moral atrocities? Answers to these questions are often filled with technical jargon and personal assumptions that don’t take into account the full scope of biblical truth.

In None Other: Discovering the God of the Bible, Dr. John MacArthur shows that the best way to discover the one true God is not through philosophical discourse but a careful study of Scripture—the primary place where God has chosen to reveal himself.

Top Highlights

“That means, in a sense, that you and I are somewhat incidental to the real issue here. Salvation is primarily for the honor of the Son, not the honor of the sinner. The purpose of the Father’s love gift is not to save you so you can have a happy life; it is to save you so that you can spend eternity praising the Son.” (Page 16)

“He emphasized those three familiar things—justification, through which we have been saved from the penalty of sin; sanctification, in which we are being saved from the power of sin; and glorification, by which we will one day be saved from the presence of sin.” (Page 14)

“Then, verse 28 records the first New Testament reaction to the doctrine of election: ‘And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage.’” (Page 7)

“We could study the law of God and its revelation of His absolute” (Page 70)

“Everything He does is true and right because He does it” (Page 9)

I am grateful to Dr. MacArthur for his service, and I commend this book whole-heartedly. It is a gift to the people of God.

—Dr. R.C. Sproul, founder and chairman, Ligonier Ministries

For over four decades, John MacArthur has faithfully exposited God’s Word and has taught a generation of Christians to value sound doctrine and fidelity to the Word of God. At the heart of that teaching and preaching ministry has been a robust commitment to the Bible’s teaching on the character of God. This brief biblical and theological exploration of God’s attributes is rich both in theology and devotion. This book is a welcome resource for any Christian who seeks to know and to love our triune, sovereign God as He has revealed himself in Scripture.

—R. Albert Mohler Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY

Rich fare indeed, and most welcome from one of today’s most beloved and trusted expositors, addressing our greatest need—knowing God. With the skill of a master theologian and the heart of a tender shepherd, Dr. John MacArthur provides the richest of material that will edify, nourish, and grow all who read it. A book to read and re-read, and to give to others with assured confidence that this will do them much good.

—Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas, senior minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC

In this work, the reader is loving, patiently, and unapologetically confronted with the God of the Bible. Dr. MacArthur makes no attempt to reconcile the testimony of God’s Word with the contrary opinions of fallen man. He simply points us to the Scriptures and expounds them without additions or subtractions. In a day of confusion, the reader will find in these pages a trustworthy treatise regarding some of the most important, yet misunderstood, aspects of God’s nature. Do not be misled by the brevity of this work. It is chock-full of theological truth set forth with clarity and simplicity. For the new believer, it is a valuable introduction to the God of Scripture. For the seasoned pastor, it is a reminder to hold fast to the biblical view of God and to proclaim Him to the people.

—Rev. Paul Washer, director, HeartCry Missionary Society, Radford, VA
