ALL men and women are made in the IMAGE OF GOD. As such, you can see the Glory of God in them. As with all other humans, that image has been TAINTED BY SIN. They are no more or less of a sinner than I am, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God [Romans 3:23]. Because they do not know the truth about God and who He is, and have not asked this God for forgiveness of sins by faith in Jesus, they remain in darkness. It is our job to love them while we show them the way of life. We cannot argue them into faith in the true Jesus, as it is the Holy Spirit who does the convicting.
THE MAIN DIVIDING POINT between the belief of Muslims and born-again Christians is the doctrine of the Deity of Jesus Christ. And this has always been the premier question, WHO DO YOU SAY I AM? [Matt 16:15] Although there are many points where Muslims believe falsehoods, this one is essential. A Muslim who confesses that Jesus Christ is God Almighty has turned his back on Islam and is excommunicated with the possibility of losing his life over such a decision. Jesus said, "if you do not believe that I AM, you will indeed die in your sins." [John 8:24]. This "I AM" is none other than GOD ALMIGHTY who appeared to Moses in the flames of the burning bush.
The most effective way to prove that Jesus is Almighty God from the Bible, is to use the most quoted book....The Book of Revelation!
Read Revelation 1:8; "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God , "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
WHO IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA? They will respond that He is Jehovah God. Of course if they say that this is Jesus, you are done because the verse says "THE LORD GOD"
Read Revelation 21:6-7; "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End....and I will be his God.
WHO IS THE 'BEGINNING AND THE END, THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA? The response again would be "JEHOVAH GOD"
Read from Revelation 22:12-13; "Behold, I am coming soon!...I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Here is where it gets interesting. In this verse we see that this Alpha/Omega; First/Last; Beginning/End is coming soon. Verse 16 says, "I, JESUS..." But they may say that in verse 16 the speaker changes, and that's OK. Just ask them who the First and the Last is. The answer would need to be "JEHOVAH GOD" since the First and the Last is also the Alpha/Omega and Beginning/End.
Finally, have them turn back to Revelation 1:17-18; "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last [now who is this First/Last?--Jehovah God!] I am the Living One; I WAS DEAD, AND BEHOLD I AM ALIVE FOR EVER AND EVER!.
Now ask them, "WHEN DID JEHOVAH GOD DIE?" Now sit back and watch the expression on their face, rolling of eyes and stuttering while trying to find a rational answer while AVOIDING having to accept the FACT, that ONLY JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH can be the First and Last, the Alpha and Omega and THE LIVING ONE who WAS DEAD, but now LIVES FOR EVER AND EVER, AMEN!!!

Frankly speaking, “ONE JEWISH GUY MADE IT!” As such, Jews need to reclaim Yeshua, BUT ONLY ON YESHUA’S TERMS.
