" We have no business preaching grace to people who do not understand the implications of God's law. It is meaningless to expound on grace to someone who does not know the divine demand for righteousness. Those who do not even sense their own guilt cannot possibly comprehend God's mercy. You cannot preach a gospel of grace to someone who has not heard that God requires obedience and punishes disobedience. "

― John F. MacArthur Jr. , The Gospel According to Jesus: What Does Jesus Mean When He Says "Follow Me"?
