Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”. John 14:6

 Now that I’m retired, I make time each morning to study God’s word for hours and research information relevant to the bible. One thing I’ve found is that the Muslim faith is rapidly growing across the globe, so I’ve spent some time trying to understand their beliefs. After some study, I find my heart broken for their misguided understanding of God’s word and His Son, Jesus Christ.

 According to the Quran (Muslim bible), Jesus was born of a virgin (Mary), but do not regard Him as the Son of God. They believe Jesus was a special prophet who performed miracles. According to their beliefs, Jesus did not die on a cross, but someone else was His substitute (who looked like Jesus), therefore He didn’t die on the cross, but was saved by God. And finally, they do not believe in the original sin, therefore no one is held accountable for their life, it is up to each person to live a life approved by God and will give an account to God (Allah) upon their death.

 My thoughts. God is a holy and righteous God. As humans, we are sinful people and don’t even come close to His righteousness. How could anyone possibly think they could live a life “good enough” to be accepted by God to enter into Heaven? Sadly, there are many people today who actually have that belief. Rejecting Jesus Christ’s atonement for sin will send you straight to Hell. Jesus Christ is the sacrificial lamb of God, atonement for mankind’s sins.

 If you have never accepted Jesus Christ into your life, or a Muslim by faith, I encourage you to pick up a copy of God’s word (Bible), and read the truth before it’s too late. Heaven or Hell is where you’ll spend eternity. Make sure you are on the right path. Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father! God bless!
