The word Islam means “submission.” In their minds, Muslims can only relate to God from the position of being a servant or slave, fully submitted to God. While submission is a Biblical concept, the Muslim understanding is incomplete. Christians believe that through Jesus, people can move from being servants to becoming sons and daughters (Galatians 4:7). Because this idea is so antithetical to everything Muslims are taught, pray for breakthrough. Ask God to enable Muslims in Dearborn and other places to grasp the unfathomable truth: He wants to relate to them as children, not as slaves (Matthew 18:3).
