Christians have confessed this creed for nearly two millennia, and we do so today. Another thing that is particularly gripping is the fact that our faith is a flesh-and-blood, real, historical faith. We don’t confess abstract spiritual ideas: our redeemer was incarnate and lived and died in a particular time and place.

You can find a conversation on CCEL which refers to a passage in Grudem discussing this phrase. Creeds.net also has a page that refers to some of the scripture passages that relate to this topic.
