Billy Graham Quotes

God saved me.

Repentance will not make you see Christ; but to see Christ will give you repentance.

Give me great sinners to make great saints! They are glorious raw material for Grace to work upon and when you do get them saved, they will shake the very gates of Hell!

If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.

A recovery of the old sense of sin is essential to Christianity. Christ takes it for granted that men are bad. Until we really feel this assumption of His to be true, though we are part of the world He came to save, we are not part of the audience to whom His words are addressed.

Salvation, the prophets tell us, is preconditioned by repentance. The redeeming act of God waits upon man's initiative.

When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, 'Repent,' he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.

Each person we meet on a daily basis who does not know Christ is hell-bound. That may make some folks bristle-but it's a fact. When we refuse to warn people that their actions and lifestyles have eternal consequences, we're not doing them any favors. If everybody feels good about his or her sin, why would anyone repent?

God-fearing people, once they're saved from their sins, they don't mind talking about it.

The Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

I remember walking down the aisle, and I got down on my knees as a person who is so selfish, but when I rose back up the Lord had become the Master of my life.

I know that God is good, and he saved me from hell and damnation.

It was Dec. 22, 1981. I figured I had messed up enough, and I decided to have a little faith and let God take over. It definitely straightened my act up in a hurry.

None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God; and God will not do without us.

I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation.

Let us never forget this, he is pure mercy, let us go to Jesus!

Those of us who are Christians believe Jesus Christ is the only one who can redeem us.

You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.

Ah, sinner, may the Lord quicken thee! But it is a work that makes the Saviour weep. I think when He comes to call some of you from your death in sin, He comes weeping and sighing for you. There is a stone that is to be rolled away--your bad and evil habits--and when that stone is taken away, a still small voice will not do for you; it must be the loud crashing voice, like the voice of the Lord which breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

Tens of thousands, perhaps millions, have come into some kind of religious experience by accepting Christ, and they have not been saved.

Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
