In BGM’s own words:
http://billygraham.org/story/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation/ - Especially:

Pillar 2: Jesus Paid It All
Second, assurance rests on the finished work of Jesus Christ. When Jesus died on the cross, He bore our iniquities, enduring God’s wrath, and cried out, “It is finished!”(3) By this, He meant that the full atonement for all our sins-past, present and future-has been made. His work of redemption now completed, our entire sin debt is paid in full.

Just as salvation comes from believing in Christ alone, so does assurance. As we trust in Christ’s perfect sacrifice for our sins, the certainty of eternal life floods our hearts. No matter how great your sin, God’s grace is greater still. The Bible says, “Come now, and let us reason together. … Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

Stand up for the truth? Definitely. Condemn, Confront? No. I do not want to embarrass the LORD. Reattaching one ear, already is enough. God loves all. Some times it is a challenge for us to do likewise. I do not have to tell sinners they are sinning. Those that are already know. It is my commission to offer to all the Gospel. My own life experiences tell me that our understanding of the capacity of God’s love, grace, and forgiveness is tiny.

With all due respect to Rev. Graham, I’m not sure of this applies to all sinners.
