Billy Graham's the Reason for My HopeSample

Promises

Today the only bright spot on the horizon is the promise of the coming again of Christ. This is God’s message, and this is the message that Christ’s church is commanded to proclaim. The church is not bound in a building or in a denomination. The church—represented by the people of God—has been given the task of sounding the alarm for humanity to repent and turn from the sin that reigns in human hearts . . .

God keeps His promises, and this is why we can be sure that the return of Christ is near. Scripture tells us that there will be signs pointing toward the return of the Lord. I believe all of these signs are evident today. . . .

What a time to take the news of the day in one hand and the Bible in the other and watch the unfolding of the great drama of the ages come together. This is an exciting and thrilling time to be alive. I would not want to live in any other period. . . .

What can we do to prepare for this great day? Believe in Him who makes your salvation sure. Rest in hope that He is purifying you (1 John 3:3). Desire His imminent return. Wait patiently for the promise to be fulfilled (Hebrews 11:9–10). Watch in faith for His coming again (Hebrews
11:13). Look for this blessed hope (Titus 2:13).
