How should I think about Islam?



Brother Daniel is a former Muslim, now a missionary in an undisclosed Islamic country. He conducts outreach efforts to Islamic leaders and pastoral training for new converts. My sister shared this sermon with me, after hearing Daniel speak to a missions conference in Kentucky (Fall 2009).


"From the time that there was no Time, there was God. He created man in his own image. All the offspring of Adam became sinners. Now it is God, who is sinless, took the form of a human being in order to restore us to his image. The Bible said that there is no mediator between God and man, only Christ Jesus. The Bible tells us that Christ was before all things. All that has been created is through Christ Jesus. All that you are doing is sharing the Light and bringing people to the Kingdom of God. It is not an assignment. It is not something you should even be worried about. It is telling people about Christ…he came to pay the penalty for sin. God is a just God and he must punish sin.

Islam does not know that Jesus Christ is God. That Jesus Christ came to save. Christ said, “The evil one comes only to kill and destroy…I came that you may have life.”
We have the words of Hope, but we are keeping them to ourselves!!!"
