He knows our story. Like a loving father walking with his child. As his children, we are not only cared for, but also guided for, and when necessary, lovingly disciplined, even when we fall short, he does not turn away.

Instead, in the greatest act of love the world has ever known, in my opinion, he gave his son Jesus Christ to save us. Calling God Father, he reveals his heart, a heart that protects us as his children, guides our steps, leads with authority, and loves us with a devotion that never fails.

Just as scripture reveals from what I’ve read and studied, Christians, by my definition, are those who place their faith in God and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day.

Though none of us are perfect, including myself. Believers seek to grow in faith, share the good news of Jesus without shame, and turn to God in prayer through both the trials and joys of life.

Christianity is the faith centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, with the Holy Bible serving as our guide for truth, wisdom, and correction, and the promise of eternal life.

Muslims call God Allah, the all-knowing, all-powerful creator who is completely singular and without equal. In Islam, Allah has no partners, no children, and no division within himself. He is beyond full human understanding.
