Here are some of his best quotes when questioned about what was waiting for him, and us, on the other side:
Graham wrote a book called Nearing Home about seven years ago in which he asks, "What home are you preparing for?"
He writes, "Some people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years. Some find themselves exchanging their bank accounts for residence within the gates of a retirement center. Others spend their last days in nursing homes.
For those of you who do not know Him, choosing your eternal home is the most important decision you will ever make. For the Christian the last mile of the way is a testimony to God's faithfulness, for He said, 'I go to prepare a place for you.'" (John 14:2 NKJV)
And no collection of the famous evangelist's best quotes would be complete without one of his great explanations of salvation:
"I'm counting totally and completely on the Lord Jesus Christ, and not on Billy Graham. I'm not going to Heaven because I've read the Bible, nor because I've preached to a lot of people. I'm going to Heaven because of what Christ did."
