Salvation doesn’t come through the church - Dr. John MacArthur

Salvation doesn’t come through the church. Salvation comes because a man or a woman recognizes that he has no resources and he sees himself lost, and undone, and he sees the filthiness and deformity of his sin. And he perceives the rottenness of his heart, and the pollution of his nature, and he is drawn to Christ as a remedy. And he sees One who died for his sin, and who conquered his sin, and paid the price, and wants to give him new life. And he says, “I believe. I believe.” And it doesn’t matter who that man is, you know? It says in verse 16, “Every one, whether Jew or Greek, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
