You cannot accept the Jesus of the Bible and not accept his resurrection.

The Bible says you must confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead.

You must believe that Jesus died as a sacrifice for

sin and rose from the dead. Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson. You may recall a trend in television some 20 years ago. Programs with

religious themes were somewhat fashionable. A Wall Street Journal article at the

time referred to that trend as quote

biblical stories put through the pop culture spin cycle.

Well you don't even have to know the plot lines of those shows to know this much.

When you put a pop culture spin on the Bible, what you end up

with is not biblical. You certainly don't get an accurate picture of the Bible's central character,

the Lord Jesus Christ. So stay here as John gives you

a clear picture of Jesus straight from the Bible as he continues his study called

Who is Jesus anyway?

And now with a lesson here's John MacArthur.

In the 10th chapter of Romans, and you don't have to look at that, I'm just going to comment

on it.

In the 10th chapter of Romans and verse 9, there's a very important

statement there. The Bible says this, if you confess with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. That's a very definitive statement.

Saved from what? Saved from divine judgment, saved from eternal hell, saved from punishment, saved from your sin, saved

from guilt.

How is one saved from that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God

raised him from the dead you shall be saved.
