From the Koran to the gospel
An Egyptian once told me: "As a child I used to play under palm trees on the bank of the Nile. Later I studied the Koran and became a good Muslim. Five times a day I used to kneel on the ground to pray toward Mecca, and I observed Ramadan, the month of fasting.

"Then I studied in Germany, where I heard more about Christ. Until then He had been merely a prophet, as the Koran teaches. But then I made the acquaintance of a Christian with whom I enjoyed discussing things. I hoped to convert him to Islam.

"What do you do with your sins?" he asked me. - "I pray, and they are forgiven me." Then he penetrated deeper: "Wouldn't God be unjust, if He forgave sins just like that? What about His holiness? Mustn't there be a righteous foundation for Him to deal properly with our sins?"

"I had no answer for that. I bought a New Testament and read it. What a difference there was between the contents and what I had learnt! Here was a message of love, but also of righteousness. God loved people so much that He gave His only begotten Son. Indeed, . My sins have been wiped out, but at what a cost! Jesus Christ died on the cross for them. That is the righteous foundation on which God can forgive sins. Jesus is the Son of God. He died to atone for the sins of all who believe in Him. And I, too, am now one of them".
