Billy Grahams The Reason For My Hope Day 10 of 15 So Loved From the heart of God to the cross of Christ, redemption came into view. God was not willing to turn His back on the human race. His love was too deep, His mercy too wide. He longed to recover, redeem, and bring us back to Himself. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV). This is what God did for us. God took Heavens best-the Lord Jesus Christ-to redeem earths worst. The Son of God died on a cross, an instrument of Roman torture made for the vilest offenders. We, as a race, have been enticed into the service of Satan, but our unfaithfulness and waywardness have not canceled out Gods love for us. Instead, He has made the way for our rescue through His Son, Jesus Christ. He made the sacrifice and paid a price unthinkably greater than our true value. We are redeemed, recovered, and restored, not with money-silver and gold-but with the precious blood of Christ. . . . On the night of November 1, 1934, my hardened soul was redeemed. I exchanged my will for Gods way. I traded my calloused heart for a cleansed soul. I had sought thrills. I found them in Christ. I had looked for something that would bring perfect joy and happiness. I found it in Christ. I had looked for something that would bring pleasure and would satisfy the deepest longing of my heart. I found it in Christ.
