Muslim encounter

The other day a friend and I went out purposing to compel people to come to faith in Jesus Christ. On this day we approached 3 men, one of which was wearing a head to toe prayer outfit. I approached the men introducing myself as a christian and asked the men their religion. I was told that they were muslims. I then asked them what they believe about Jesus Christ. Here is where it got interesting...they proceeded to preach another Jesus..one whom is nothing but a mere man..one who wasn't crucified..one who will return and tell the world that he is not the Messiah...I then asked the man how he thought he might get to heaven...his reply was one in which was based on obedience to the teachings...here is where I stepped in. I spoke to the men about how are righteousness is as filthy rags in the sight of God and that the only Way is Jesus Christ. I professed to the man the true identity of my LORD....HE is GOD...I have little fear in speaking about my Lord because I know Him in whom I have believed. This was an interesting encounter because it just shows the people in other religions are trying to earn their way to God...by their good works..but we are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves..it is the gift of GOD. Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins and raised up for our justification. He is the only Way.
