‘What is the best Christian response to a convinced Muslim?’ by Dr Gordon Stanger

What is the most appropriate Christian approach to Muslims? To many, the question simply doesn’t arise. The average Christian doesn’t know any Muslims, doesn’t care, and in any case, doesn’t believe that Muslims can be converted. All of that is changing. Islam is the world’s second biggest religion and aspires to become the first. Islam’s goal is global supremacy within the next few decades. To the Muslim, Christianity is false; it is the enemy. In reality, it is Islam that is false. Perversely, Islam is profoundly mistaken in many respects, but most notably in misrepresenting the nature of God, in the denial of Jesus as the Son of God, and in its denial of the resurrection. So, from a Christian evangelistic perspective Muslims are ‘tough nuts to crack’. Yet God still loves the Muslim. We may note Luke 18:27: “What is impossible with men is possible with God”. In fact, more Muslims are coming to Christ now than at any other time in history. Muslims can be converted. We will take a look at how.
