God’s Message By Billy Graham • October 8 “He who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life.” —John 5:24, NASB I know little about nuclear fission or uranium and other elements used in making nuclear explosives. Yet I believe in the atomic bomb, and so do you. But how can we believe that it exists if we don’t understand it or have any scientific knowledge about the way it works? The answer is obvious. Others understand nuclear fission, even if we don’t, and others have seen what happens when a nuclear reaction takes place, even if we haven’t. We read what they say, and we accept it as the evidence of reliable witnesses. I spend much of my time perusing the pages of a book—the Bible. In it I discover that centuries ago God acted and spoke, and reliable witnesses have written it down. God even guided them as they wrote, so that now I read the very words of God Himself. I may not understand everything there is to know about God—but I know Him and trust Him, because I read of Him in the Bible. Most of all, I know He came down to this earth in the person of His Son, and “grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). Hope for Today Advanced degrees are nice, and the ability to read Greek and Hebrew is impressive. Yet, over the years, many of the most moving testimonies have been from those who claimed the promise: “because the Bible tells me so.” | ||
