Islam And The Gospel Of Christ
In Islam, the surest way to get to heaven is to die fighting for the cause of Allah and Muhammad. The idea is you sacrifice your life in order to be saved. Salvation in Islam is not free on the recipient's part. It must be earned.
The Gospel or the Good News of Christ is diametrically the opposite. Instead of offering and sacrificing your life to God in order to be saved, it is God, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, who offered and sacrificed His life to purchase our salvation and made it available for every single sinner in the world.
Salvation as offered in the Gospel or the Good News of Christ is therefore a free gift offered to sinners. All the sinner has to do is to accept and receive it by placing one's trust in the Savior and what He did on the cross.
Ro 6:23 ...the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Re 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
