What about Islam?
The religion of Islam has certainly gotten a lot of attention, especially since 9/11. As with any religion, there are many beliefs that it teaches- far more than this short blog could cover. So here's a short, respectful presentation dealing with a major dilemma in the Koran. (Finding video clips on Islam that are short, well done, and respectful was much harder than I thought. There are several that are to the contrary.) Let's be clear. Good videos are not going to convert those who are hardened to the truth. But they can help us better understand the truth, and can help those whom God has been softening. So if you have Muslim acquaintances, perhaps this video may help to awaken them to the truth.
No matter what religion a person may claim, they still need the same gospel. You don't need to become an expert in what they believe, you just need to point them to the truth. So once again, use our same three questions with Muslims you know, when the opportunity arises.
-What led you to believe that? - to believe in Islam as your religion?
-Would you consider yourself to be a person who wants the truth?
-Then would you please read through the gospel of John and follow the truth wherever it leads you?
Interesting Insight: Just as there are many denominations within Christianity, there are over 70 sects of Islam. That is why you will find Muslims, especially in the U.S., who sincerely believe Islam is a religion of peace. That is what their sect teaches. Yet many others overseas are taught that they must advance Islam by all means possible, including Jihad.
1.-Read John 1:19-34 and share one thing that stood out to you from that passage and or the video.
2.-Write on your MP3 card, "Look, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29
In Islam, and for that matter, in all other religions, man must somehow make up for his sins with enough good works. But who knows if one has ever done enough? Such people need to know the lamb of God who takes away their sins. Thank You Lord for doing that for us!
