40 Words that stand between You and Eternal Life. The Quran denies, in a single ayah (verse), that Jesus the Messiah was crucified. By denying this historical reality, the Quran forces its followers to not only reject one of the most certain events of history itself, but by so doing it separates them from the life-giving message of the cross of Jesus Christ. In this video we compare the 40 Arabic words of Surah 4:157 with the 33 Greek words of Galatians 2:20. Here are the texts (as translated by the co-author of the lyrics, James White): Surah 4:157: And in reference to the Jews who said, We killed the Messiah, Jesus the Son of Mariam, the apostle of God, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to appear to them. And indeed those who differ in the matter are surely in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it except following mere assumption. But of a certainty they did not kill him. Galatians 2:20: I have been crucified together with the Messiah. So it is no longer I who live, but the Messiah living in me. And this fleshy life I now live, I live by faith in the Son of God, the one who loved me and gave himself in my place. It is our sincere hope that Muslims will know we present this with true love in our hearts for them, and in the hope that they will see their need for Christs work, and will submit in repentance and faith to His lordship.
