John MacArthur Tells Gavin Newsom His ‘Soul Lies in Grave, Eternal Peril,’ Pleads With Him To Repent in Open Letter

MacArthur told Newsom, “You cannot love God as He commands while aiding in the murder of His image-bearers,” following up the statement with a stark warning from Psalm 50:16-19 for those who pervert God’s Word for their own gain.

Believing that Newsom’s soul is in “grave, eternal peril,” MacArthur asked Newsom, “When you look ahead of you and see that nothing awaits you but eternal misery—the just punishment for your sins—what will all the clever rationalizations and political talking points avail for you then?”

MacArthur pleaded with the governor to not enter into the day of judgement as an unrepentant sinner but receive “forgiveness and righteousness through faith in Christ alone.”

“There is salvation for those who repent. Christ purchased full redemption for all who will turn from wickedness, forsake their evil thoughts and actions, and trust fully in Him as Lord and Savior,” MacArthur shared.

The pastor told Newsom that many are praying for his salvation and continued his plea, “Please respond to the gospel, forsake the path of wickedness you have pursued all your life, turn to Christ, ask for forgiveness, and use your office to advance the cause of righteousness (as is your duty) instead of undermining it (as has been your pattern).”

MacArthur concluded his letter by telling his governor, “now is the acceptable time, behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2)”
