Islam and Christianity has Nothing in Common.Religions on earth are not what that could be compared with
Christianity . In other words Islam and Christianity has nothing in common but, we Christians take every one on earth as one creature from one Creator because, Jesus died for every man on earth. We love every man with passion just as Christ loves every man with passion. If a man truly believe in his heart and to his knowledge that God is his creator he should also believe that he has one thing to do as God's creature which is living his/her life for God alone by obeying His words and His Son whom he sent as a sacrifice of sin of mankind. It is quite interesting that even atheists do believe after series of research, historical evidence, archeological discovery, etc, that Jesus Christ came from God and died willingly. Now if you dont believe in Jesus, you should at list find out why He died willingly.
He was bruised and condemned by humans, hung on the cross, died and was buried, but, he arose in three days after he was buried, and right now seating at the right hand side of the most High God. This can be described as “impossible” in the Christian Faith if the word does exist at all in Christendom.
Truly, he did all that just to save you and I from the bondage of sin and Satan. If one is thinking about impossibilities in the world of Christianity, he/she should first of all think about the unimaginable miracles he did when he was on earth in the physical body, and what he said to everyone in the Faith; if you believe in the works I do, you will do also but, greater works than these shall ye do. (John 14:16.). Could there be anything more difficult than that if truly there are impossibilities in the kingdom of heaven as most people think? No is the appropriate answer. In other words, there are no impossibilities in the world of Christianity today. It is just an illusion in the heart of those with low level of faith in the kingdom of heaven
However, one may be wondering about what the kingdom of heaven is all about. Truly, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are two different things altogether. The kingdom of heaven is what the lord Jesus came to establish in the earth, which He has successfully established in the earth and of which everyone who has received the only son of God as his/her lord and savior is part of. There is no kingdom on earth that could be compared to this. If one is in this kingdom of heaven on earth, he/she will count the things of the world nothing but dirty rags. On the other hand, the kingdom of God is the one which exists in heaven of which Jehovah God is the boss. The kingdom of heaven is like a subsidiary of the kingdom of God.
Interestingly, in the kingdom of heaven, the Son of God has made everything available for those in it. Greatness, good life, beauty, wisdom, knowledge, abilities, great wealth, highest level of education, great love, good better-half etc, are all available for everyone in the kingdom of heaven.
Truly, if a man is confirmed as part of the kingdom of heaven on earth, by Jesus Christ, everything in the kingdom of heaven automatically becomes part and passel of that man or woman. This kingdom is what we all need to belong because, everything one gets from this kingdom is genuine, approved by God, consequence free and good for life. But anything one gets outside this kingdom is disastrous to a man’s life and future.
Technically, Jesus the Son of God laid down his life for everyman on earth with the aim of releasing everyman from the chain of Satan but, due to ignorant, many are still living their lives in the chain and bondage of witchcraft influences.
However, all those in the kingdom of heaven on earth have been given power and authority to be in charge in whatever they do in life. This power is what believers of Jesus Christ are living with. Therefore, neither power nor wisdom on earth can disrupt or confound them in life for greater is He that is in them than he that is in the world. (1 Corinth. 4:6). The Bible says; howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, or of the princes of this world, that come to naught. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory (1 Corinthians 2:6-7). All we need to do is to have it in mind that our father the Most High God is the soul owner and creator of the entire world including everything in it. The Bible says; we are joint heir with Christ Jesus. And this statement legally qualifies every believer of Jesus Christ to be a major share holder of the world and of heaven for all things has been requited to Him (Jesus Christ) by the Most High God.
With all truthfulness, God truly loves the world without any question in his heart. We are more important to God than what we think we are. God in His infinite love and mercy in heaven released the life of His only Son Jesus Christ as a sacrifice to redeem the entire world from sin and cuffs of Satan. What love could be greater than this? Not anyone. If one could willingly offer the life of his only Son in place of your life and tells you to remain with him just to ensure that all is well with you, what would you do to show appreciation? As for me, I will simply be willing to remain a servant to such a person so I can live to see tomorrow. But, in this case, God is telling us that we are not His servants anymore, but sons and daughters and joint heir with Christ Jesus His first Son.
Christians in the world today are like eagles with a very large pair of wings flying anywhere they want to be at anytime without restrictions. No matter who you are as long as a man has made up his/her mind to come to the church and be part of those in the kingdom of heaven, he/she is automatically a Christian and a child of God despite the low level of his/her faith, the worldly character in him and his inability to comprehend the things of the kingdom than the things of the world. With all due respect, that does not make him/her a bad Christian like most people do classify them because; man was good in the sight of God after His creation of man. We should all try hard as believers of Jesus Christ to do away with this horrible impression on the little faiths in the kingdom. This is really an avenue for condemnation to the little faiths. They are already in the kingdom where little faiths are manipulated and transformed to mightier ones. It is impossible for a man to be in Christ and still keeps and pays attention to the world’s traditions around him. The Christian Faith is what that can never be interfused with any other religions or traditional belief just as it is extremely impossible to preserve any living organism with fire. Christianity is not of the world; rather, it is a different world from the one the devil operates. The devil has no business in the world of Christianity just as he has no business in heaven. And that is the reason why Christianity can never be termed as a religion among the ones on earth today because the Bible says that every believer of Jesus Christ is a god and a child of the Most High God. (Psalms 82:6).
In a nut share, Christianity is a world that is fully occupied by gods ordained by the Most High God to rule over every other god in the universe. We are not of this world because, we have been separated from the world (John 17:6, John 17:14) by the blood of Jesus Christ which He carried with two hands to the throne of the Most High God for presentation to God almighty as a price for the sin of the entire world, after He left the cross and the grave. We are now His ambassadors in charge of His embassies on earth where we preach the Gospel to them that are in the world as visa to the world of Christianity where all things are possible through Christ, and where access is granted to be with Jesus for all eternity when the end of days finally comes (John 17:24). The first born of the Almighty God is Jesus the Christ whom the Most High God also ordained to the rank of a God (Hebrews 1:
owing to what He did on the cross, in the grave and in the land of the dead where He went to preach the Gospel to those that died during BC. (1 Peter 3:18-19). Whom the MHG had requited all power to, and now He is the Father of all principalities and powers. This same Christ is the Founder and Father of Christianity, whom also gives power to every one that believes in Him through the preaching of the Gospel (John 17:20) to stand above the world and its forces.
A believer of the Gospel is an untouchable creature that can never be destroyed by any evil or peril in the world he/she does belong to. Believers of Jesus Christ are the preservers of this world because they neutralize and subdue the power of Satan and its demonic angels through the power that has been given to them by Jesus Christ the Father of all principalities and powers. Truly, the Lord Jesus came to this world to destroy the works of the old man the devil by offering Himself as a sacrifice for sin and of power to empower men individually in a way that could make man terrify Satan himself for the Bible says; I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over the power of the enemies, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19). This is an assurance of the presence of the power of God in us as believers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
A believer of Christ should also try hard to do away with usage of the sentence “No body is perfect” for it is a powerful sophisticated weapon Satan is using to give license to sin, and can also be held responsible for the rapid growth of immorality in most Churches today. The Bible says; be ye therefore, perfect even as you’re Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Mathew 5:48). Remember we were made in the image of the Most High God (Genesis 1: 27). In other words, God gave us the ability to be perfect in every thing we do on earth owing to the fact that God will never waste His precious time to create a thing that can never be perfect to His likeness. For His is the “Omniscient and Omnipotent God. In other words, He is the all-knowing and all-powerful God. He can never be subjected to any authority or power, wisdom or knowledge.
Notwithstanding, this same God has also made a decree that His Spirit shall be in every one who believes in Him through His Son Jesus Christ. (John 14:26). Now, if the Spirit of the Most High God lives in a man and controls him, could there be any symptom of imperfections in such a man? Therefore, a believer must have the understanding and knowledge of the words and commandments of God and His personality in that believer. Obeying the commandments of the Lord Jesus brings about perfections in one’s life (John 14:15-17). It makes every other powers and commandments that could make or bring you imperfections remain submissive and subjected to you because, you function with an order from the highest authority.
Conclusively, the major reason why the Lord Jesus could live His entire life on earth without sin despite the great and overwhelming level of prosecutions and temptations He encountered was because, He lived by the commandments of the Most High God (John 14:31) and He never compromised His faith with any other physical or spiritual traditions and prejudice. He always stood on His ground at any given time to display the wisdom and power of the Most High God in Him. In all His life, He was never corrected or proven wrong by any means of human’s interpretation because, He possessed the power and wisdom of the Most High God until He was made God and Father of all principalities and powers in heaven, earth and beneath the earth. He has also imparted in us His believers same ability to function in the earth without imperfections, only if the believer could know his stand and live by the commandment of the Lord Jesus without compromise, for He said that the believers shall judge the world (1 Corinthians 6:2) and that is enough reason to be entirely separated from the world and its tradition as a believer of the Gospel. Knowing your stand and personality as believer, born again and a child of the Most High God just like Jesus, simply means standing above the world and its forces of darkness and evil. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present and can never be defeated by any means likewise His faithful ones. For He has given them power to become children of the Most High God (John 1:12). Therefore, every believer is a child of God and a god on earth. For this fact, every believer of Christ should make it a point of duty to do away with things that are contrary to the will and commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ and build his/her faith in the power of God and not the wisdom of men (1 Corinthians 2:5). Therefore, knowing your stand and tasks as a child of God is what Christianity is all about.
This write up is based on the Gospel of our Lord Jesus and all references are from the Holy Bible, and it stands on the five cardinal doctrines:
Sola Scriptura (Bible Alone): is the Holy Spirit-inspired word of God, and is the only source of all revelation, doctrine, and authority. Human experience or traditions have no authority in the above matters.
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone): is the basis of salvation. Grace is unmerited favour from God. No man however saintly can obtain salvation through his own meritorious works.
Sola Fide (Faith Alone): is the only means through which one can attain the free gift of justification. Faith is a non-meritorious activity. Meritorious human works play no part in receiving the gift of justification.
Solus Christus (Christ Alone): is the only Savior and the only Mediator between God and man. There is no other Savior or Mediator.
Soli Deo Gloria: To God Alone Be Glory.
