Are You an Authentic Christian or Merely Religious?

Billy Graham “Religion doesn’t save anybody. Religion is man’s attempt to reach God. Christianity is God’s attempt to reach man. There’s a vast difference”.

“And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”

~~~Luke 16:15 (KJV)~~~

“But He said to them, You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted and highly thought of among men is detestable and abhorrent (an abomination) in the sight of God.”

~~~Luke 16:15 (AMPC)~~~

Do You Know Jesus or Do You Fear Death?

Billy Graham “But you know the fear of death is gone when a person,…when I found Christ as my Lord and my Savior, the fear of death was taken away. And now I’m just as certain that when I die that I’m going into another world that’s just as real as this one. That it’s helped me to face life here and now….Well I envision Heaven. And I’m not going there because I’ve preached to a lot of people. I’m not going there because I’ve read the Bible. I’m not going there because I’m good. I’m going there because of what Christ did for me on the cross. I’m saved by the grace of God. Now the word grace carries with it the idea that I don’t deserve it. I can’t buy my way, I can’t work my way. I’m a sinner”.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

~~~John 3:16 (KJV)~~~

Worry-Free Faith

Billy Graham retells the story of a little girl who was a passenger on a plane in which her daddy was one of the pilots. During the night the stewardess woke the little girl as the plane began to experience turbulence while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, requiring her to put on her seat belt. The little girl asked the stewardess if her daddy was at the controls. Yes, the stewardess responded, he was in the cockpit. The little girl smiled and peacefully returned to her sleeping.

This is what it is to trust in our Heavenly Father through turbulent times in our own lives. This is worry-free faith.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV).
