Billy Graham

On May 4, over 1,700 people gathered in Japan for the Love and Hope in Shikoku Celebration to hear a message of hope from @WillGraham_4. As attendees heard the Good News, many made decisions for Jesus Christ! Read stories of changed lives for eternity: billygraham.org/articles/forgi…

"Meaningless mouthings about peace will not bring it to the world. ... It is a specific relationship with God into which a person is brought." —Billy Graham

“When Jesus died on the cross, He conquered death through His resurrection. There is no reason to fear eternity if you place your trust and faith wholly in the eternal One.” —Billy Graham

"God says that we can learn a great deal about Him just by observing nature." —Billy Graham

“We are the ‘light of the world,’ and light exposes evil. We are the salt, and it adds flavor. If we are at peace with this world, it may be because we have sold out to it and compromised with it.” —Billy Graham

In October of 1967, Billy Graham shared the hope of the Gospel at the Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. Over the course of ten days, more than 191,000 people came to hear the simple message of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, and many responded to this Good News. On May 4-5, his grandson, @WillGraham_4, will return to Japan to preach the powerful message of a risen Savior during the Love and Hope in Shikoku Celebration. Please pray that God will move mightily once again and that hearts across this nation will be transformed by His love.

“The Almighty God, the Creator of the whole universe, loves you and is interested in you as if you were the only person who ever lived. Even when we sin against Him, He still wants to put His arms around us and say, ‘I love you.’” —Billy Graham

Billy Graham was once asked whether God answers the prayers of those who don’t believe in Jesus Christ. He pointed to the Bible and explained that while prayer is a privilege for believers, God still shows mercy and grace to those who sincerely seek Him. This is reflected in the story of the the thief on the cross, who turned to Jesus in faith during his final moments and was promised eternal life with Him.

“If the glories of Heaven were more real to us, if we lived less for the material things and more for things eternal and spiritual, we would be less easily disturbed by this present life.” —Billy Graham

“Whatever our heart clings to is our ‘god,’ and when we cling to anything or anyone other than God we are guilty of idolatry. God alone must be first in our heart and our life.” —Billy Graham

“Where is God when we suffer? He is ever-present and all-knowing, with us in all our struggles and trials. Nothing in our lives takes God by surprise. We are not alone in our suffering …” —Billy Graham

“Today, as always, many people think they can manage without God. They may manage economically, intellectually, and even socially. But down inside they have a spiritual void that can be filled only by Jesus Christ.” —Billy Graham

“No suffering that one of Christ’s own endures for Him is ever in vain. Living for Christ, walking in His way, will not be an easy path. The way of the cross is a hard one, but He never said it would be easy.” —Billy Graham

“Jesus calls us who know Him to wait in expectation. Our hands should be busy with His work—but our eyes should be looking up. May your watching for Jesus make you even more active in His service!” —Billy Graham

Matthew 24:35 says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” This World Book Day, reflect on the unchanging promises found in Scripture.

“Some people spend so much time worrying about what might happen that they never enjoy what is happening. Take one day at a time. Today, after all, is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.” —Billy Graham

“If you have honestly turned to Jesus and asked Him to forgive you, then you are forgiven—totally and absolutely. When Jesus died on the cross, every sin you ever committed—every one—was placed on Him. He paid the penalty for all your sins.” —Billy Graham

Creation points to the wonder of God’s handiwork and reminds us of His power and presence. Billy Graham once said, “No matter where we are, we certainly can sense God’s presence and be impressed by the beauty of His creation, if our hearts are right. The Psalmist declared, ‘The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it’ (Psalm 89:11).” This Earth Day, pause and reflect on the beauty and stewardship of the world around us.

“Speak about the love of God and faces light up, but speak of God as a Judge, and our attitudes change. But God is the Judge of His world; as our Maker, He owns us. He is a Judge who loves righteousness and hates sin, and He is always just.” —Billy Graham

On April 20, a marker was dedicated in Charlotte at the place where @BillyGraham chose to follow Christ. From that decision, he went on to share the Gospel worldwide—reaching millions. Read about how this marker stands as a reminder of God’s faithfulness: billygraham.org/articles/a-mon…
