When I was Muslim, I never noticed what the Quran doesn’t have.
Dates. Places. Names you can check.
Read the Quran’s stories: no chronology, almost no geography, kings called only “Pharaoh,” events floating in no particular year.
Where did the story happen? When? Under whom? The text doesn’t say. You can’t check it… which conveniently means you can’t crosscheck it.
Now read the opening of Luke 3:
“In the FIFTEENTH YEAR of the reign of TIBERIUS CAESAR — PONTIUS PILATE being governor of JUDEA, HEROD being tetrarch of GALILEE, his brother PHILIP tetrarch of ITUREA and TRACHONITIS, and LYSANIAS tetrarch of ABILENE, during the high priesthood of ANNAS and CAIAPHAS…”
SEVEN historical anchors in one sentence.
An emperor, a governor, three rulers with their exact territories, two high priests.
And people HAVE checked — for centuries, often trying to break it. Skeptics mocked Luke’s “Lysanias of Abilene” as an error…
UNTIL an inscription naming Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene turned up.
Pilate was called legend by some… until the Pilate Stone was dug up at Caesarea in 1961 with his name and title carved in it.
Luke 1:3-4 tells you why: “Having followed all things closely… that you may have CERTAINTY.”
Certainty. That’s the offer.
One book floats above history where nothing can touch it.
The other planted its flag in checkable ground and said: dig.
They dug. It’s still standing.
Praise the Lord and His mighty God-Breathed scripture.
“God has never done any small thing in my life!”
When I look back over my journey, I can honestly say that the hand of God upon my life has been undeniable.
“To God be all the glory.”
Paul now reveals the origin of humanity’s fallen condition 👀
🔥 Sin entered through Adam.
And sin did not come alone:
death came,
corruption came,
separation from God came.
From there, fallen nature spread through humanity.
Rom.5.12 - Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Rom.5.13 - For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Paul explains grace with simple logic 👀
If salvation was earned by works…
🔥 then God would owe people payment.
But salvation is not salary 😶
It is grace.
Deep point here ⚠️
Nobody can impress God into saving them.
Not by:
religious activity,
self-righteousness,
moral boasting
Rom.4.4 - Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Rom.4.5 - But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Paul basically said:
“Before anything else… I belong to Jesus.”
Not:
CEO
Influencer
Big man
Just servant.
🔥 Deep.
Many want to be used by God,
few want to be owned by God.
Paul too get past o 😅
Man once fought believers.
Now?
He’s writing books changing lives till today.
Rom.1.1 - Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom.1.2 - Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom.1.3 - Concerning his Son Jesus .., which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
