Billy Graham from Fargo, ND, 1987
you can’t change your past but Christ
can Christ can change the past by
covering your sins with his blood and
forgiving all the sins and mistakes you
ever made that’s a wonderful thing
because God has a set of tapes in which
everything you’ve ever said everything
you’ve ever done and everything you’ve
ever thought is there and will be played
at the judgment but if you come to
Christ and surrender totally to him he
wipes out the tapes he erases the tapes
and no one will ever hear them
somebody says follow your conscience but
your conscience may be seared or it may
be dead it may be no good it’ll lead you
wrong you can be sincere but be wrong
and many of you can be sincere in your
beliefs in in what you’re doing and the
way you’re living but deep in your heart
you’re wrong you’re not going according
to the scriptures you’re not going
according to what Christ says and the
scripture says you must come to the
cross and repent of your sins and let
Christ forgive your sins from the cross
and wash your sins by his own blood and
receive the righteousness of God God has
an ability that you don’t have he has
the ability to forget he forgets our
sins and that’s the most thrilling
thought in the world is to go to bed at
night and know that your sins are
forgiven many of you must decide this
afternoon before you leave here every
person here will decide one way or the
other about your relationship to God
some of you need to rededicate your life
to Christ some of you need a new
experience with Christ others of you
need to come to Christ perhaps for the
first time in total surrender of your
life to him if you’re going to be
forgiven of your sins if you’re going to
get to heaven what about you do you know
Christ are you ready for death because
it’s coming and for some of you there’s
no way out
there’s pressures and troubles and
trials in your life and difficulties and
problems and there seems to be no answer
it may be you and your wife you just
can’t seem to make it you you you love
each other and yet you don’t and you
fight in your scrap is there anywhere
else yes there’s a way Jesus said I am
the way the choice that some of you make
today will decide where your children
are going to be where your grandchildren
are going to be what their lives are
going to be like it’s the choices that
we make Moses said I call heaven and
earth to record this day that I’ve set
before you life and death blessing and
cursing therefore choose life that both
you and your children may live it
affected future generations what are you
going to do about it
I’m bless with the word of God that was preached with power and clarity..
