The Apostle Paul addresses justification through faith in his epistle to the Romans: How glorious is that? My Muslim friend, consider Father Abraham, He believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness as it is written in the good book: "And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness." Genesis 15:6. Christians stand in the righteousness of Christ and not on their own. Thanks be to God who imputed the righteousness of Christ onto the believers. No one, no matter who can stand on his or her own righteousness, God regards our righteousness as filthy rags. And in another place He said: "But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6 God clearly said: "They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt There is none who does good, No, not one." Psalm 14:3. No one can be saved by doing works, by working themselves into heaven by somehow pleasing God and hopefully God will accept their good works. Salvation is a gift of God by His grace through faith and faith alone. That to me is no security at all, the Bible or the word of God gives the Christians assurance of their salvation. As Christians we know that we have eternal life through Christ, ask any Muslim if he or she will go to heaven, and they are not sure. Jesus came to give us life and eternal peace. Many Muslims would say that their religion is a religion of peace, looking at the world and the history of Islam, I think it is quite the opposite. Muhammad on the other hand conquered with the sword and killed those who would not convert to Islam. He gave His life because God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son. He came as prophesied to die for the sin of the world. Jesus who was sinless taught His disciple and followers to, "love one another as I have loved you". Muhammad thought that he was demon possessed, Jesus cast out demons. Did Muhammad, do any miracles at all, did he heal the sick, made the blind see? Did he raise the dead, was he able to forgive sins? When Muhammad died did he raise himself and descended to heaven? Jesus' tomb is empty, Muhammad's bones are still in his tomb in the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Mosque of the Prophet) in the city of Medina. He promised that those who would believe in Him would have their sins forgiven and have eternal life, being for eternity in heaven with Him. He raised Himself from the dead and descended to heaven, He overcame death and defeated death. To top it off, He died for the sinners by shedding His blood on the cross. If we compare Jesus and Muhammad, we find that Jesus performed miracles, He healed the sick, made the blind see, He cast out demons, He raised the dead, He set the captives free, He rebuked nature, He forgave sins, something only God can do. If God or Allah as the Muslims call him gave us so much information in His Holy Book about Jesus, why not once did He give us any indications of the coming of Muhammad? 300 prophesies that were fulfilled by the Messiah, and not one prophesy concerning the so called greatest prophet of them all, Muhammad? I find that very odd. There are more than 300 prophesies concerning the first coming of the Messiah Jesus i.e. My question to my Muslim friends is, if Muhammad was the greatest prophet, why was there no prophesy given of his coming? Not even one? The first coming of Jesus was prophesied long beforehand by the prophets of God in the Holy Scriptures. The Muslims however regard Muhammad as the greater prophet. Muslims around the world believe that Muhammad and Jesus/ Issa were prophets of God.
