15.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Activity: Do you have any Muslim friends? It is good to know what they believe and how their
beliefs differ from the doctrines as revealed in the Bible. Lord willing, you will now have an
opportunity to talk with your friends about salvation found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember,
Allah is not a god of LOVE. They do not have a hope of salvation. And you have the plan by
which they can experience God’s love and forgiveness for their sins. Commit yourself to sharing
the truth of God’s Word with them at every opportunity. It will come through developing a relationship
with them where they can see how God has made a difference in your life.
