And Jesus answered him, the first of all the commandments is,
{Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall worship Him with all your strength and all your might and all your soul and all your heart.}
Mark 12:29
Jesus, peace be upon him, also replied to the devil who was trying to tempt him :
{ Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall you serve.}
Matthew 4:10

🔵 The Qur’an teaches that God is holy and just (59:23) and that sin truly matters in judgment (99:7–8). Good deeds are weighed, but salvation finally depends on God’s mercy, not works alone (23:102–103; 39:53).
🔴 The Qur’an presents Jesus (ʿĪsā) as uniquely pure (19:19), the Messiah, the Word of God, and a Spirit from Him (3:45; 4:171). No one else is described this way.
🔵 Jesus then makes radical claims about Himself: “I am the way… no one comes to the Father except through Me.” If He said this, He cannot be just a prophet pointing away from Himself - either He is a mad man, or He is who He says he is.
🔴 I personally believe Jesus died and rose to deal fully with sin. No one else has done that for me, and that’s why I accept His offer of forgiveness.
Jesus’ question remains:
👉 “Who do you say I am?” (Luke 9:20)
