The title of my blog post and video today is “Franklin Graham’s God loves you tour sold out in London. On Saturday, June 21st, 2025, the God Loves You Tour led by evangelist Franklin Graham made its stop in London—and what a remarkable night it was. Over 17,000 people packed into the ExCeL London venue to hear a clear, uncompromising message of hope through Jesus Christ. The venue had increased its seating to 15,000, yet it still couldn’t accommodate everyone. Hundreds were turned away at the doors—but they didn’t leave. Instead, they gathered outside and began to sing and worship spontaneously, lifting the name of Jesus in unity and faith.
The Franklin Graham’s God loves you tour, was organised by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and featured worship led by internationally known artists CeCe Winans, Michael W. Smith, and The Afters. The atmosphere was electric. Inside, as young people chanted “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” the presence of God filled the venue. It was not just a concert or a conference—it was a revival moment.
Watch the Video
Below is the video I’ve created, sharing highlights from the London event and explaining what it means to be born again. If you’re searching for truth, or simply curious about why so many people are turning to Christ in these uncertain times, I encourage you to watch it.
Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham, took to the stage and brought a powerful Gospel message. He didn’t shy away from the realities of our world. Speaking of the global instability we see on the news daily, he said:
“Since I last preached here in London two years ago, the world seems to be one step closer to Armageddon. Many people feel hopeless. This is why the Gospel is so good—because the Gospel brings truth. It brings hope in a dark world.”
He went on to say:
“You can come to the One who can turn that around, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.”
That message struck a chord with many in the audience. Hundreds made decisions to follow Christ. Among them was a 16-year-old girl who shared, “Everybody is hungry for God in my generation right now, and He is moving.” It’s encouraging to see young people responding with such spiritual sensitivity and boldness.
The Power of the Gospel
Franklin Graham made it abundantly clear that salvation isn’t about being religious, doing good works, or trying to earn favour with God. The Gospel message is simple yet powerful: we must be born again. As Jesus said in John 3:3, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
That’s a message I know well from my own experience. Before I was born again, I couldn’t see. I didn’t understand the things of God. But when I received the Holy Spirit, it was as if the lights came on. Suddenly, everything made sense. God’s Word came alive. The Kingdom became visible. That’s the transformational power of grace.
Key Scriptures on Being Born Again
The Bible is clear that spiritual rebirth is not optional—it’s essential. Here are several Scriptures from the New King James Version (NKJV) that explain why:
- John 3:3 – “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
- John 3:5–6 – “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
- 1 Peter 1:23 – “Born again… through the word of God, which lives and abides forever.”
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
- Titus 3:5 – “According to His mercy, He saved us… by the renewing of the Holy Spirit.”
- Romans 10:9–10 – “If you confess with your mouth… you will be saved.”
These verses remind us that being born again is not about doing better—it’s about becoming new through faith in Jesus Christ. The moment you trust in Him, your past is forgiven, your future is secure, and your spirit is made alive by the Holy Spirit.
Would You Like to Make That Decision?
If you’ve never made that decision to follow Christ, there’s no better time than now. In the video, I lead a short prayer you can say if you genuinely believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again—and you’re ready to turn away from your old way of life.
Becoming born again is not about religion—it’s about relationship. It’s the beginning of a new life in Christ, and it’s the best decision you’ll ever make.
