Billy Graham was an evangelist at revival meetings, and on radio and television for over 40 years. Born on November 7, 1918, in Charlotte, North Carolina, Billy Graham was preaching at an L.A. revival and was a guest on Stuart Hamblen's radio show in 1949.
Graham has been credited with preaching to more individuals than anyone else in history, not counting the additional millions he has addressed through radio, television and the written word.
Graham's integrity has encouraged millions to heed his spiritual guidance, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Bono, Muhammad Ali and United States presidents from Eisenhower to Bush. He has been rated by the Gallup organization as "One of the Ten Most Admired Men in the World" a staggering 51 times. He is regarded by contemporaries as humorous, non-judgmental, sincere, innocent and accepting. Learn more.
Below are 25 selected quotes from Billy Graham on heaven:
“Heaven doesn’t make this life less important; it makes it more important.”
"Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away."
"The most thrilling thing about Heaven is that Jesus Christ will be there. I will see Him face to face. Jesus Christ will meet us at the end of life's journey."
"As a Christian I have hope not just for this life but for Heaven and the life to come. And many of those people who died this past week are in Heaven right now. And they wouldn't want to come back; it's so glorious and so wonderful. And that's the hope for all of us who put our faith in God. I pray that you will have this hope in your heart."
"Remember: the Bible is the our only authoritative source of information about Heaven."
“Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?”
“The Bible says that as long as we are here on earth, we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies to be conquered before we return home. This world is not our home; our citizenship is in heaven.”
"God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there."
“Even when we allow our imaginations to run wild on the joys of heaven, we find that our minds are incapable of conceiving what it will be like.”
"Heaven is full of answers for which nobody ever bothered to ask."
"What God is doing today is calling people out of the world for His name. Whether they come from from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they've been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus but they know in their hearts they need something that they don't have and they turn to the only light they have and I think they're saved and they're going to be with us in heaven."
“In heaven I’ll wish with all my heart that I could reclaim a thousandth part of the time I’ve let slip through my fingers, that I could call back those countless conversations which could have glorified my Lord—but didn’t.”
"The Bible says that as long as we are here on earth, we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies to be conquered before we return home. This world is not our home; our citizenship is in Heaven."

“Jesus opened heaven's door for us by His death on the cross”
“Heaven is a wonderful place and the benefits for the believer are out of this world!”
“The cross shows us the seriousness of our sin—but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.”
"In my travels I have found that those who keep Heaven in view remain serene and Cheerful in the darkest day. If the glories of Heaven were more real to us, if we lived less for material things and more for things eternal and spiritual, we would be less easily disturbed by this present life."
“Salvation is an act of God. It is initiated by God, wrought by God, and sustained by God.”
"I'm going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: 'Lord, remember me.'"
