No one can grasp the love of the God of the universe without knowing His Son.

God requires something of us. We must confess our spiritual poverty, renounce our sins, and turn by faith to His Son, Jesus Christ. When we do that, we are born again. He gives us a new nature. He puts a little bit of heaven down in our souls.

The Bible teaches that whether we are saved or lost, there is conscious and everlasting existence of the soul and personality.

Someone who visited the Billy Graham Library noticed all the crosses displayed and said to her host, "Where is Jesus? Why isn't He on the cross?" Her host smiled and said, "We do not worship a crucifix. Jesus died on the cross, but He did not stay on the cross. . . . He lives!

The Bible teaches that you are an immortal soul. Your soul is eternal and will live forever . . . the real you—the part of you that thinks, feels, dreams, aspires; the ego, the personality—will never die . . . your soul will live forever in one of two places—heaven or hell.

Until the Good News of Jesus Christ burst onto the human scene, the word love was understood mostly in terms of seeking one's own advantage. Loving the unlovely was incomprehensible A loving God reaching down to sinful humans was unthinkable.

Even in the darkest moment, before death snatches man's last breath, God is willing to save a lost soul.

The Bible teaches whether we are saved or lost, there is an everlasting existence of the soul.

Sin pierced the very heart of God. God felt every piercing nail and spear thrust. God felt the burning sun. God felt the mocking derision and the body blows.

We have some of the finest civil rights laws in the world, but they have not solved our racial problems. Why? Because we need a change of heart and attitude, Jesus said, "You must be born again" [John 3:7].

The human race has the power right now to destroy itself. Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves.

God prescribes the remedy for the ills of the human race. That remedy is personal faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. The remedy is to be born again.
