As one who lives among and ministers to Muslims, I really appreciate this article. The emphasis on the legalism under which Muslims live is too often ignored. We who have been born of the Spirit have good news for them (and everyone else) - the Lamb was slain in order to purchase men for God (Rev. 5:1-9). There is no other solution for our sin apart from Jesus' death, resurrection, and continuing intercession. Let us proclaim the Gospel to them with the boldness that the Holy Spirit gives. For those who believe, they too will hear and experience the following promise from God, "Comfort, O comfort My people," says your God. 2 "Speak kindly to Jerusalem; And call out to her, that her warfare has ended, That her iniquity has been removed, That she has received of the LORD'S hand Double for all her sins." (Isa 40:1-2, NASU)
