India Missions Update
Last week we mentioned that India is 74% Hindu and 14% Muslim. This week lets find out what do Muslims believe? A Muslim is an adherent of Islam. There is no official creed to which one must adhere to be considered a Muslim. All that is required is to believe and recite the Shahada: "There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his Prophet." Beyond this core belief, however, Muslim doctrine is often summarized in "Six Articles of Faith." Many Muslims believe that one must adhere to the six articles to be considered a Muslim. Muslim Beliefs about God The single most important belief in Islam, and arguably the central theme of Islam, is that there is only one God. The name of God is Allah, which is simply Arabic for "the (al) God (Ilah)." The term is related to Elohim, the Hebrew word for God. Muslim Beliefs about Life and Salvation For a Muslim, the object of life is to live in a way that is pleasing to Allah so that one may gain Paradise. It is believed that at puberty, an account of each person's deeds is opened, and this will be used at the Day of Judgment to determine his eternal fate. Muslim Beliefs about the Afterlife Like Christianity, Islam teaches the continued existence of the soul and a transformed physical existence after death. There will be a day of judgment and humanity will be divided between the eternal destinations of Paradise and Hell. 1 Differences between Christianity and Islam There are a lot of differences between Christianity and Islam. First, and foremost, the two different books, the Quran and the Bible. Second, the two different founders, Mohammed and Jesus Christ. Third, the two different deities, the God of the Bible, and Allah of Islam. Fourth, the two different ways of salvation. The way of Cain, which is salvation by works, and the way of God, which is salvation by grace alone. Fifth, two different standards of life.
Pray for the unreached people of India. In this issue:

WLBC Praying for...EUROPEAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES More than .5 million Armenians live and work in France. Yet as recently as 2010, there were less than 150 known Armenian believers in the three evangelical Armenian churches in France. Intercede for followers of Christ to arise with a desire and passion to impact Armenians in France with the Gospel. Petition the Lord to raise up intercessors who will faithfully go before the Fathers throne through prayer on behalf of this unengaged, unreached people group.
