Muslims and Christians have similar ideas about God. Both hold that there is only one God, the creator of the cosmos. The Bible, the Quran, and the book of Muslims all share certain commonalities. Characters like as Abraham, Moses, and David appear in both of the works. Both Muslims and Christians believe that God is all-powerful, omnipresent, and sovereign. Jesus is also mentioned in the Bible and the Quran.
Jesus is not just a prophet
But there’s a crucial distinction between the two perspectives. As the Son of God who came to earth to pay the price for sin, Christians believe in Jesus as the Savior (John 3:16). Muslims see him as more than just a prophet. According to Christians, Jesus is God in human form (Colossians 1:15–17, 19). Christianity revolves around Jesus, and everything depends on him. He made us right with God the Father by defeating sin and death (Colossians 1:20). As he was raised from the dead, so too will everyone who believes in him be raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20–23).
The Holy Spirit is important
The Christian faith also depends on the Holy Spirit. Real knowledge of God is impossible for a believer without the operation of the Holy Spirit in their lives (John 16:13, 14). A Christian can comprehend God’s Word, the Bible, only via the power of the Spirit. The believer’s thought and behavior patterns are altered by the Spirit’s work so that they more closely resemble the Son of God, Jesus (Romans 8:5,9; Galatians 5:22).
The only way to God
Do Muslims and Christians share a common god? The only real God exists. In the end, the question is which group believes the most accurately about God? Through his Son, Jesus Christ, God has made himself known to us. God has revealed himself in his Word, the Bible. According to Jesus himself, there is only one path to God (John 14:6). According to John 4:23, anyone wishes to worship God must do it in spirit and truth, and this truth is that Jesus is God’s Son.
Love is God. This is an undeniable fact that the Bible makes plain on every page. Through Jesus’ death on the cross to deliver us from hell and eternal punishment, it speaks to us (1 John 4:7–10). God wants everyone to be saved and to be with him (1 Timothy 2:4); we are saved by his kindness and grace, not by our deeds (Ephesians 2:4). I pray that this is how God is known to everyone on the planet.
