The following sermon is by John MacArthur, pastor, author, and Bible teacher with Grace to You.

If you've never contacted Grace to you, we want to send you a free booklet by John called How to Prepare for Christ's Return.

The Bible says to fix your hope on the Lord's return, but until Christ comes back, how should you spend your days?

This booklet answers that important question.

Request your free copy of How to Prepare for Christ's return by writing to prepare at gty.org.

That's prepare at gty.org. This offer is good in North America and Europe through December 2025.

And now unleashing God's truth one verse at a time.

Here is Grace to you Bible teacher John MacArthur.

I want you to open your Bible to John 6 again, as we did last week.

As you can tell, the title of the message is the same, Christian Deconstruction.

For many generations of the church, no one would understand what that means.

But in this contemporary scenario, maybe over the last five or six years, that has become a very popular term to describe

people who once profess to be Christians, but who turned away. They deconstruct their Christian

faith.

It primarily finds its adherence on the Internet through the normal, ubiquitous social media,

means as they give their testimonies to being liberated from the oppression that Christianity once was for them.

This is the typical scene.

And most of them who defect do so because of an unwillingness to turn from iniquity, transgression, and sin, and be obedient to the Lord.

And it comes down to that.

True Christians obey and false Christians resent that.

And so trying to get a handle on that and help you to see it and understand it, I've chosen John Chapter 6 as a great passage to explain this, because it is a widespread phenomenon, as I said

last week.
