Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." Please read Romans 3:10-26. There are Christians who love you as Christ loves you and are praying for your salvation and regeneration. God Bless You.

Thank you for visiting. In my life I strive to obey God and submit to His will to the best of my ability, as I believe that this is the best path to salvation.Subject: Re: Surah al-Qalam ayah 31
I used to think that way too until I realized that all of our righteousnesses are "as filthy rags" in God's sight. There is nothing we can do for God. He is the provider of all things...even our faith comes from Him. That's an amazing miracle, isn't it? That the God and creator of this universe should care so much for us!Subject: Re: Surah al-Qalam ayah 31
Yes, you are entirely correct. Our own actions mean nothing if it is not God's will to save us. I'm sorry if my previous comment gave the impression that I thought otherwise.As a Muslim I believe in the same God that you do and, as I said, I strive to obey His commands and submit to His will to the best of my ability and I pray that when I turn to Him, He will forgive me and grant me reward.
Thanks again for visiting.
