California evangelist Greg Laurie, who leads the multi-campus Harvest Christian Fellowship, said MacArthur "will be deeply missed."

"I had the privilege of knowing John personally, and I can tell you — he was a true man of God. He spoke at our church several times over the years, and it was always a joy to spend time with him," wrote Laurie.

"John leaves behind a powerful legacy: his beloved family, his faithful congregation, his far-reaching media ministry, and of course, his epic library of biblical commentaries that will continue to impact generations."

Laurie believes MacArthur's "greatest legacy" will be that "he lived a life well-lived" and that he "was faithful to the very end."
