Day 01 - Grace and Truth Affirmation

30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Ramadan 2010 / 1431: August 11 - September 09

Toward Christlike Relationships with Muslims (Part 1)

For Wednesday 11 August, Ramadan 2010. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer"

This is an Affirmation from a Global Network of Christians who love Muslims and many who live and serve among them. We affirm nine biblical guidelines that can enable Jesus' followers to serve as his representatives in relationship with Muslims of every persuasion.

1. Be Faithful to God's Truth: Pray for Christians, when they relate to Muslims to do it on the basis of the core convictions of Christian faith, not by hiding or diminishing them. (Mt. 22:37, 39; 28:20, Micah 6:8)
   
   
2. Christ-Centered in Interaction: Ask that they will unashamedly present Jesus, the Essence of the gospel (1 Cor.2:2) and that they do not confuse the good news with Christianity, patriotism, culture or our civilisation.
   
   
3. Our Words and Witness: Pray that their words and witness will be in line with Scripture, containing no overstatement, exaggeration or words taken out of context (Matt.12:36, Ex.20:16, Matt.7:12, Matt.22:39).
   
   
4. Wisdom in our Words and Witness: Above all, ask that Christians will share their faith wisely, but not hesitate in making the best of every opportunity (Col.4:5, James 3:17-18).
