the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16). Paul should know, since his life was radically transformed when Jesus confronted him on the road to Damascus (Acts 9, 26:4–18). Once he knew Jesus and His power, nothing held him back from telling others about the risen Christ.

like to write about is Did Jesus claim to be God? , If a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life? and What can your local church do to better communicate God’s love to your community.

Jesus did claim to be God and

Muhammad: My Personal view of Muhammad it is probably biased by my faith as a Christian. After reading the three sources I came with a single image of Muhammad. As I began to read about the prophet Muhammad in the beginning, I could not help but agree with why his people called him the perfect person. According to Islam, Muhammad is the last prophet sent to mankind. He himself speaks of himself as the prophet of the whole mankind. According to him, this is one characteristic that differentiates

witness to me but never told me my life was wrong. I eventually began seeing what he had and I became jealous of his joy and patience and all around happiness of his life. So then I asked the questions of how I could get that. I finally saw my need for Jesus. Part THREE – Circumstances surrounding your conversion My conversion wasn’t typical or huge. It was a simple, glorious eye opener in my own car before work. I prayed and told God that I wanted Him, all of Him and that I didn’t want to bath in sin

compulsory obligations of practice is wrong. The whole New Covenant is that which the Old Covenant was a type so we should see some similar characteristics. What so many want is for the Law to be the "true light" and it was only a shadow of that to come. Jesus is the true light on the rightoeusness of God.
