It should not be surprising if people believe easily in a God who makes no demands, but this is not the God of the Bible. Satan has cleverly misled people by whispering that they can believe in Jesus Christ without being changed, but this is the Devil's lie. To those who say you can have Christ without giving anything up, Satan is deceiving you.
Billy GrahamFaith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.
Billy GrahamThere are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ.
Billy GrahamSuffering is part of the human condition, and it comes to us all. The key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer to Him in trust and confidence.
