Indifference to Scripture is not a mark of regeneration.

Indifference to Scripture is not a mark of salvation.

Indifference to Scripture is a mark of spiritual death.

And I believe that in all generations, including this one, God's true church, the genuinely

redeemed, are desperately hungry for the truth.

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

If you're a Christian, the Word of God is an all-you-can-eat buffet of endless

spiritual nutrition. It's the sustenance you need in order to know the will of God and grow to be

more like Christ. And with that said, let me ask a serious question. If Scripture is that important,

what are you doing to proclaim it and defend it when it's challenged?

And if you're indifferent to the Bible, what does that say about the state of your soul?

Those two questions get to the core of John MacArthur's current series here on Grace to You.

It's a study he calls Making a Case for the Bible. I think you'll be spurred

to action as John shows you the tragic example of a nation that failed to truly take hold of

God's word when God gave it to them. So follow along as John begins the lesson.

What is true about the true believer is that he loves the Word of God.

The true Christian loves the Word of God. In the New Testament we find this again and again

indicated to us in the language of our Lord, for example, in the eighth chapter of John, he says in verse

31, if you abide in my word, if you find your place, your resting place, your living

place, your dwelling place, your settling place in my word, then you are truly disciples of mine.

Real disciples, Mathe'stese alethos, genuine disciples, live and abide in the Word because it is their only spiritual food.
