Heaven Merit Christ

More From Billy Graham

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Faith Christian Jesus
Merit is a work for the sake of which christ gives rewards. but no such work is to be found, for christ gives by promise. just as if a prince should say to me, "come to me in my castle, and i will give you a hundred florins." i do a work, certainly, in going to the castle, but the gift is not given me as the reward of my work in going, but because the prince promised it to me.
Giving Promise Castles
By christ's purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit; the one pays our debt, and so satisfies; the other procures our title, and so merits. the satisfaction of christ is to free us from misery; the merit of christ is to purchase happiness for us.
Two Redemption Debt
They are equal reality. they are two streams of present reality, both equally promised. the christian dead are already with christ now, and christ really lives in the christian. christ lives in me. the christ who was crucified, the christ whose work is finished, the christ who is glorified now, has promised (john 15) to bring forth fruit in the christian, just as the sap of the vine brings forth the fruit in the branch.
God Christian Reality
Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.
Christian Mean Thinking
Here we are told that christ really lives in me, if i have accepted christ as my savior. in other words, we have the words of jesus to the thief of the cross, 'today thou wilt be with me in paradise.' christ can say, 'today thou wilt be with me in paradise,' and mean it. to die is to be with the lord. it is not just an idea, it is a reality. but at the same time, christ, the same christ who gives the promise just as definitely, that when i have accepted christ as my savior, he lives in me.

There is no well-doing, no godlike doing, that is not patient doing.
Patience Patient Godlike
According to their [newton and his followers] doctrine, god almighty wants to wind up his watch from time to time: otherwise it would cease to move. he had not, it seems, sufficient foresight to make it a perpetual motion. nay, the machine of god's making, so imperfect, according to these gentlemen; that he is obliged to clean it now and then by an extraordinary concourse, and even to mend it, as clockmaker mends his work.
