Bible Question: How can you witness to some one who is Islamic? Are there any specific verses that would help in doing so? |
Bible Answer: I don’t know who Allah is because I have never personally met him. I can’t say the same about Jesus, God’s Son, because I have had and I am still having a personal relationship with him now. Ones that haven’t had this relationship don’t have a clue what I am referring to. It’s that same as trying to explain the color red to a person that’s been blind all of their life. The relationship comes about by the working of Gods’ mercy in action, through faith in God’s Son, Jesus. i.e. it can’t be earned or deserved. God is Holy and pure and righteous, so that it is impossible for God to have a relationship with man because of man’s unholy deplorable condition. The only way for man to have a relationship with God is for man to be as good as God is, and we humans just can’t crank out the perfection that’s needed. Man is sinful, according to God, and God can’t just turn His head and excuse sin; the sin problem must be solved and paid for. For man to pay the price, that a Holy God demands, would require that man be separated for God; this is to the point that man could never be near God. The problem is that God is love and he has a fantastic love attitude toward man but on the other hand God is “Just” and he “must” punish sin. God came up with the perfect solution: he decided to pay the price for sin, which is spiritual death or, separation from him. There is a glitch though, God can’t die, it’s impossible for him to die. God had the good sense to know this, so he made the decision, in eternity past to come down to Earth and become a man. This man would be the Son of God and not a descendent of the first man who sinned, so he isn’t considered of the seed of Adam. In fact God’s Son would be born of a female Virgin to prove that the male gender had nothing to do with his birth. This means that Adam’s old sin nature wasn’t passed on to this promised one from God, who would be eligible to pay the price for sin, since he had no sin of his own. This one from God would become our sin substitute and could pay the price that a Holy God demanded. God says that if we will accept the work that he did for us, in the person of his Son that he will credit to our account what the Son deserved. The person that God sent was his precious and loving Son Jesus. If we reject Jesus, and what he did for us, God has no other solution and no other choice but to let us be separated from him for ever. Thus the following statement made by Jesus. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If the adversary, the devil, can get peoples minds diverted in any direction away from what God himself did in the person of God’s Son, that puts them on the road to personal destruction. It doesn’t mater what name one wants to tack on God the results will be the same if one doesn’t trust in the perfect work of Jesus God’s only unique Son. Guess who gets all the credit? GOD I hope you will have a nice day, CDBJ |
