Christians Must Heed
Jesus

Almighty God says that He has sent messengers to Earth and
makes it clear in a verse that it is impossible for them to say, "Abandon

God and worship me:"
It is not right for any human being that God should give him the
Book and Judgment and Prophethood, and then that he should
say to people, "Be worshipers of me rather than God." Rather he
will say, "Be people of the Lord because of your knowledge of the
Book and because you study." (Koran, 3:79)

As shown by the evidence in these and many other verses, Jesus
is a blessed and holy messenger created by God. He is a human being
who is a friend of God, a prophet and a servant of God. But in no way
is he the son of God; he never claimed to be divine, but sought shelter
in God against that. When preaching his message he always reminded
people that he was a servant of God and called on them to believe in
Him.
