Billy Graham


Billy Graham devoted his life to spreading the gospel message of Jesus Christ.  Jesus died on the cross so that anyone who believes in Him will be forgiven their sins and inherit eternal life.  This is the gospel message.  No one communicated this message in clearer and simpler terms than did Billy Graham.   If I was Probably every adult in American and much of the world otherwise knows who Billy Graham was.  He took seriously the command capable I might write many books about Billy Graham but that would only be scratching the surface of what could be said about him and his remarkable life.  There is much about him in books, on the internet and you can listen to some of his sermons on YouTube.   My purpose in this post in not to go too deeply into his life but to recognize the simple message he delivered many thousands of times.

Billy would open with the fact that God loves you.  He would point out that we are dead to sin and are separated from God.    Next, he would explain that God the Father sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins, Jesus Christ.  Then, he would say that if you repented for your sins and asked Jesus into your heart and believed that Jesus would forgive your sins you would be born again and come into a personal relationship with Him where you would experience love, peace and joy and gain eternal life.   There is much more to learn after that from reading the bible, prayer and listening to the Holy Spirit.  It’s a simple message and it is completely true.  Both of my parents were greatly influenced to accept Christ as their Savior by Billy Graham.   My fathers mother had everyone eat dinner while watching Billy Grahams crusades on television.  My father gives Billy Graham the credit for leading him to Jesus Christ.

Billy Graham went to heaven to be with Jesus on February 21, 2018.  Millions of people have been blessed because he passed this way.
