Vor vielen Jahrhunderten bauten Bibelübersetzer einen Fehler in das Neue Testament ein, der seitdem immer wieder vertuscht wurde: Das griechische Wort für „Sklave“ wurde lediglich mit „Diener“ oder „Knecht“ übersetzt. Die fatale Folge: Dieses falsche Verständnis beeinträchtigt die Beziehung des Gläubigen zu Gott. In diesem brisanten und aufrüttelnden Buch deckt John MacArthur diese Unterschlagung auf und zeigt die Reichtümer des Heils auf eine Weise, wie der Leser sie womöglich noch nie gesehen hat. Was bedeutet Christsein, wie Jesus es definiert hat? Dieses Buch macht klar, dass die Antwort mit einem einzigen Begriff zusammengefasst werden kann: Sklave. „John MacArthur erklärt kompetent und verständlich: Jesus hat die Gläubigen von der Sklaverei der Sünde losgekauft – und zugleich bedeutet dieser Loskauf, dass sie nunmehr königliche Sklaven und sein Eigentum sind. Die Kinder Gottes müssen paradoxerweise zunächst bereit sein, Sklaven Christi zu sein.“ – Robert C. Sproul

Doch dazu müssen Sie zuerst verstehen, was der Bibeltext bedeutet. Nur wenn Sie Gottes Wort tiefgründig studieren, wird sich Gottes Wahrheit als Kraft auf Ihr Leben auswirken. Die MacArthur-Studienbibel hilft Ihnen, Gottes Wort Vers für Vers zu verstehen und für Sie aufzuschließen.§Mit Parallelstellen und neuer deutscher Rechtschreibung.

¿Está perdiendo la capacidad de reconocer le pecado? ¿Se está convirtiendo en una persona a la que le resulta fácil evadir la culpa, negarla o excusar su fracaso moral o el de los demás? En este libro desafiante aunque convincente, John MacArthur le anima a enfrentar a - y no huir de - la cultura que carece de responsabilidad moral. Con una verdad bíblica sólida, este libro muestra por qué y cómo lidiar con el pecado, si es que quiere vivir de una manera que complazca a Dios. John MacArthur le ofrece soluciones - con una profunda claridad y perspicacia - para lograr una santidad que le lleve de una vida signada por la culpa y la negación a una existencia llena de paz y libertad.

Die Liebe Gottes ist keine fromme Floskel, sondern eine tiefgründige biblische Lehre. Sie ist nicht so kinderleicht zu verstehen, wie man landläufig meint, sondern wirft viele schwierige Fragen auf: Warum ließ Gott den Sündenfall zu? Warum lässt er so viel Leid zu? Warum rettet er nicht einfach alle Menschen? Liebt er alle gleich, oder liebt er die Erwählten, die Gläubigen, besonders? John MacArthur zeigt, dass in der Kirchengeschichte Gott einst als grimmiger Tyrann und heute meist als gutmütiger Großvater dargestellt wird, und widerlegt beiden extremen Sichtweisen. Er versucht nicht, letzte Lösungen zu Rätseln zu anzubieten, die frühestens im Himmel gelüftet werden. Vielmehr besteht die Stärke dieses Buches darin, dass der Autor sehr ausgewogen einfach alle Seiten darstellt, die die Bibel lehrt. Somit ist das Buch nicht die Darlegung einer besonderen Autorenmeinung, sondern gesunde, ausgewogene Schriftauslegung. Aber mehr noch als den Verstand spricht dieses Buch das Herz an und hilft, ein paar Strahlen der Herrlichkeit Gottes mehr zu erblicken.

Dieses Buch verschafft Ihnen in kürzester Zeit einen Überblick über jedes Buch der Bibel. Einige Punkte in der Übersicht: - Einleitung zu jedem der 66 Bücher der Bibel - Information über den Schreiber - Datum der Niederschrift - die Hauptpersonen - der historische Hintergrund - Hauptlehren - Chronologie des Bibelbuches - Schlüsselverse - häufig gestellte Fragen über jedes Bibelbuch - Diagramme

Dieses hoch brisante Buch schildert die Geschichte und Skandale der charismatischen Bewegung und ihren dennoch ungebremsten Einfluss auf die Evangelikalen. Gründlich analysiert werden angebliche Wundergaben wie „Zungensprache“ und Heilungen sowie die Frage, ob es heute noch Prophetie gibt und ob ein solches Reden Gottes fehlbar sein kann. Der dritte Teil zeigt, wie man wirklich die Segnungen des Heiligen Geistes erfährt.

Unser Denken bestimmt unser Sein. Genau aus diesem Grund sagt Paulus: 'Und seid nicht gleichförmig dieser Welt, sondern werdet verwandelt durch die Erneuerung des Sinnes' (Römer 12,2a). In einer Welt, in der die verschiedensten Gruppierungen um unsere Treue werben, müssen wir lernen, 'biblisch zu denken', damit wir das Gute vom Bösen unterscheiden können. Gott ist der Schöpfer dieser Welt; seine Stimme – sein Wort – muss unsere Gedanken und unsere Taten leiten. Mit der Bibel in der Hand treten John MacArthur und andere Gelehrte des Master's College den falschen Weltanschauungen entgegen, die in unserer postmodernen Welt vorherrschen. Die Autoren bieten Modelle zur Förderung einer biblischen Denkweise im Bereich von Anbetung, Psychologie, der Geschlechterfrage, Wissenschaft, Bildung, Geschichte, Regierung, Wirtschaft und Literatur an. Dieses Buch wird sich als hilfreich für alle erweisen, die ein vom Wort Gottes Verändertes Denken in der heutigen Gesellschaft anstreben.

In diesem Andachtsbuch vermittelt John MacArthur in zwölf Abschnitten (ein Abschnitt pro Monat) die wichtigsten göttlichen Wahrheiten, die in Gottes Wort an uns Menschen, der Bibel, enthalten sind. Bei den Monatsthemen handelt es sich um die folgenden: Errettung, Grundlagen, Jüngerschaft, Triumph, Ausharren, Umgestaltung, Praxis, Wegkreuzungen, Sicherheit, Ausdauer, Beständigkeit und Christus

John MacArthurs Dienst richtet sich an Christen, um ihnen zu helfen, das Wort Gottes zu verstehen und in ihrem Leben anzuwenden. Dies wird in seiner Kommentarreihe über das Neue Testament deutlich, die darauf abzielt, die Schrift zu erklären und lebendig zu machen.

Es gibt vieles im Leben, das uns bedrohlich erscheint und wie ein unüberwindbarer Berg vor uns steht. Sorgen und Angst gehören zu den 'Riesen', die unsere Zeit, unsere Kräfte und unseren Frieden rauben. Kann man sie besiegen – und wenn ja, wie? John F. MacArthur setzt nicht auf populäre psychologische Theorien und Therapien oder menschliche Bewältigungs-Strategien. Er erinnert uns daran, dass Gott um unseren täglichen Kampf mit Angst und Sorgen weiß – und längst die Lösung bereithält. In der Quelle allen wahren Trostes und Sieges, dem Wort des lebendigen Gottes, verspricht er einen Frieden, der allen Verstand übersteigt sowie Unabhängigkeit von äußeren Umständen und eine tiefe, bleibende Geborgenheit schenkt.

In einem Zeitalter der Aufgeschlossenheit und Toleranz akzeptieren viele Gläubige immer mehr mit immer weniger Einsicht: Das Resultat ist ein großes Durcheinander und falsche Kompromisse. Doch Gottes Wort warnt uns davor, dass nicht alles, was glänzt, Gold ist. Falsche Meinungen gibt es auf jedem Gebiet, und die Versuchung, ihnen zu erliegen, ist groß. Wir sind aufgerufen, Traditionen und Trends anhand der Bibel zu prüfen, um festzustellen, was echt und was falsch ist. John MacArthur und die anderen Autoren dieses Buches definieren die Grundregeln biblischer Einsicht und verwenden sie, um einige aktuelle Strömungen in der evangelikalen Welt anzusprechen (z. B. werden einige der christlichen Bestseller wie John Eldredge, „Der ungezähmte Mann“, oder Rick Warren, „Leben mit Vision“ behandelt). Es ist die Aufgabe jedes Christen - eben nicht nur der Prediger oder Ältesten - dem biblischen Befehl zu folgen und festzuhalten, was gut ist, sowie abzuweisen, was falsch ist. Daher dieses Buch!

Heutzutage wird die Wahrheit massiv angegriffen. Jeder Christ ist gezwungen, Farbe zu bekennen. Mit deutlichen Worten ruft John MacArthur die Christenheit dazu auf, die Wahrheit der Bibel gegen die erheblichen Einflüsse der Postmoderne zu verteidigen. Bezug nehmend auf den Judasbrief legt er dar, warum der geistliche Kampf gegen Irrlehren so notwendig ist.

Weihnachten: Wir reden und singen von Frieden auf Erden. Wir erheben den Geist der Bruderschaft, der Liebe und der Freundlichkeit. Wir kommen als Familie zusammen, um einander zu beschenken und schöne Feststunden zu haben. Sind diese Dinge das Wesentliche der Weihnacht oder nur die Überbleibsel der wahren Bedeutung des Christfestes? Weihnachten dreht sich im Eigentlichen um die Geburt Jesu – Immanuel, Gott mit uns –, der gekommen ist, um sein Volk von ihren Sünden zu erlösen. Wem nicht einleuchtet, warum diese Wahrheit alle anderen übertrifft, für den ist dieses Buch geschrieben. Es schließt die wahre, ganz persönliche Bedeutung von Weihnachten auf.

»Es ist für jeden Christen unverzichtbar zu wissen, wie man die Bibel studiert. Mein Gebet für Sie ist, dass Sie das Wort Gottes studieren. Kämpfen Sie dafür, Gehorchen Sie ihm, Lieben Sie es, Ehren Sie es und glauben Sie es.« – John MacArthur »Wie man die Bibel studiert« ist ein motivierender Ratgeber, der beides beantwortet – das »Warum« und das »Wie« des Bibelstudiums. In diesem Werk untersucht John MacArthur verschiedene Bibelstellen im Alten und Neuen Testament. Aufgrund seiner jahrelangen Erfahrung führt er den Leser in praktischen Schritten zu größerem Gewinn im Erforschen der biblischen Wahrheiten. Jeder Teil wird mit Fragen für einen Rückblick und Gedanken für eine persönliche Reflexion vervollständigt. Dieses gründliche, aufschlussreiche und prägnante Werk dient als hervorragendes Hilfsmittel für das persönliche oder das gemeinsame Bibelstudium.
