Today we celebrate Jesus’ literal resurrection bodily from the dead. He did not “swoon” on the cross (in other words, not really die.) He was not replaced by Judas (as the Muslims teach,) His body wasn’t stolen by His disciples… no, Jesus was supernaturally raised from the dead! He now lives eternally at the right hand of the Father God, making intercession for us! (Romans 8:34)

You may say, “Aw come on, Dr. Bill! You don’t REALLY believe that do you?” If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be a Christian! Check out these scriptures:

Romans 10:8 “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;”
Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:10 “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:11 “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

Note verse 9, “…and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” So, we could say it this way, without changing any meaning… if you don’t believe that Jesus was raised from the dead, then you aren’t saved! I didn’t say this… a simple reading of the above verses indicate this!

So, don’t let liberal theologians steal your faith! Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, receive and confess Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour! And then testify of your doing so… write me, and let me know that you have done so!
