Billy Graham's The Reason For My HopeSample

My Hope

The Bible . . . predicts a fabulous future for those who trust in Him. He who does all things well will bring beauty from the ashes of world chaos. A new world will be born. A new social order will emerge when Christ comes back. A fabulous future is on the way. The second coming of Christ will be so revolutionary that it will change every aspect of life on this planet. Christ will reign in righteousness. Disease will be eliminated. Death will be abolished. War will be eradicated. Nature will be transformed. Men, women, and children will live as life was originally designed, in fellowship with God and each other.

Does this give you hope for real change? If not, I urge you to examine where you stand before the God of judgment, but with the certain hope that He is the same God of peace.

Someone once observed that there are three days a week that we have no control over—yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We only have this moment in time to prepare for eternity. For those who delay, why do you wait? If you think you can clean up your past to make preparation feasible, your efforts are futile. You can’t change your past, but you can change your future.
