ABOUT DEATH BED SALVATION; BILLY GRAHAM'S OPINION

 Does God give up on people who reject Him repeatedly? The question plagues many, but evangelist Billy Graham has an answer.
"God welcomes anyone—absolutely anyone—who sincerely turns to Him in repentance and faith, even at the last minute," Graham said.
Take the thief on the cross beside Jesus as an example. In Luke 23, the thief recognized Jesus as the Messiah, and Jesus assured the man they would be in paradise together. 
But there was another on the trio of crosses—one who continued to mock Jesus. 
"God cannot save someone who refuses to be saved—and when a person repeatedly turns his or her back on Christ, their heart grows more and more hardened toward God. As a result it becomes easier and easier for them to resist God's call, and—like that unrepentant criminal—they are in danger of refusing to turn from their stubborn unbelief," Graham said.
"Only God can change our hearts, and only God can break through the barriers your neighbor has built. Pray for him, that God will break through those barriers and draw him to Jesus. Pray too that God will help you be an example to him of the hope and new life we have because of Christ," Graham said.

MY COMMENT
 This is one reason it is quite difficult to judge as to who goes to heaven eventually or not.The story of the cross is a depiction of this assertion.I would not be surprised if when we get to heaven, people like Hitler are found there.God extends his saving grace to everyone even till the last breath! However, the word says in
2 Corinthians 6:2  (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
 There should not be any need to postpone the day of reconciliation with God.God wants us to receive his grace now while we are still alive and active so we can partake in his kingdom's work and bring glory to His name. I pray for someone who has just read this article and may have been seeking the peace of God in his or her life,may the peace and mercy of God flood your life and bring you closer to HIM and make you a powerful and useful instrument in His hand in Jesus name amen.
