Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? We're going to answer that question.

00:06

You can also discover more on GotQuestions .org. The Muslim and Christian views of God have some similarities.

00:13

Christians believe in one eternal God who created the universe, and Muslims apply these attributes to Allah.

00:21

Both view God as all -powerful, all -knowing, and all -present. A vital difference between the

00:28

Islamic and Christian views of God is the Biblical concept of the Trinity. In the

00:34

Bible, God has revealed himself as one God in three persons. God the

00:39

Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. While each person of the Trinity is fully

00:44

God, God is not three gods, but three in one. God's Son came in the form of man, a truth called the

00:54

Incarnation. The Lord Jesus Christ conquered the penalty and power of sin by dying on the cross.

01:01

After rising from the dead, Jesus went back to heaven to be with his Father and sent the Holy Spirit to believers.

01:07

One day, Christ will return to judge and rule. Those who have trusted in the

01:13

Lord Jesus will live with him, but those who refuse to follow him must be separated in hell from the

01:20

Holy God. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

01:26

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

01:35

Either Jesus bears the wrath of God for your sin on the cross, or you bear the wrath of God for your sin in hell.

01:42

The Trinity is essential to the Christian faith. Without the Trinity, there would be no incarnation of God's Son in the person of Jesus Christ.

01:52

Without Jesus Christ, there would be no salvation from sin. Without salvation, sin would condemn all to an eternal hell.

02:00

So do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? A better question is, do

02:05

Christians and Muslims both have a correct understanding of who God is?

02:11

To this question, the answer is definitely no. Because the crucial differences between the

02:17

Christian and Muslim concepts of God, the two faiths cannot both be true.

02:23

The biblical God alone addresses and solves the problem of sin by giving his

02:29

Son. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

02:38

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

02:44

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only

02:54

Son. That answers the question, do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?
