How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

The Quran, the central religious text of Islam, is believed by Muslims to be a revelation from God. It is considered to be a continuation and completion of the previous scriptures, including the Old Testament. While the Quran shares some similarities with the Old Testament, it is a distinct text with its own teachings and narrative.

According to the religion of Islam, the prophet Muhammad was visited by an angel in AD 610. Muhammad said that the angel appeared to him in the cave Hira, close to Mecca and commanded him: “Read!” Muhammad responded, “But I cannot read!” Then the angel embraced him and recited to him the first verses of the Surah Al-Alaq. The Qurʾān contains 114 chapters called SurahAl-Alaq means congealed blood, as the angel revealed to Muhammad that God created man from a blood-clot. From this first chapter of the Qurʾān, Muslims believe Muhammad continued to receive revelations, which make up the rest of the Quran, until he died in AD 631.

Here are some points to consider regarding the relationship between the Quran and the Old Testament:

  • The Quran acknowledges the figures and events from the Old Testament, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and many others. It provides its own perspective on these figures and events.

  • There are parallels between certain stories in the Quran and the Old Testament, but there are also differences in the details and interpretations.

  • The Quran is written in Arabic and is organized in a different manner compared to the Old Testament. It is divided into chapters called surahs, which are further divided into verses called ayahs.

  • The Quran is considered the literal word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of approximately 23 years, while the Old Testament is a collection of religious texts and stories from ancient Israelite tradition.

In summary, the Quran has some commonalities with the Old Testament. However, it is a distinct religious text with its teachings, structure, and historical context.

Some people believe that the Quran is a revised version of the Old Testament with additional content, similar to how Christian Zionists interpret the Rapture.

Regardless, it is unreasonable to expect a Muslim to find information about the Prophet in the Bible. What is the purpose of this argument and consequent posting?

So far, it seems that the argument only undermines your credibility. I hope my comment was helpful, and I wish you the best.
