What Saves: The Last Bastion

By Olatubosun Matthew Macaulay

Questions asked by many Muslims are: Why Jesus? Why not simply do good deeds, pray to God and live a righteous life? Why must God’s Law be incapable of Salvation? These are reasonable questions to ask, and must not be sidelined. These are questions which beg for convincing answers because Christianity is NOT a call to blind faith.
This book is talking, primarily to Muslims and proffers these answers. 1. Why it must be Christ Jesus and ONLY Christ Jesus. 2. Why our good deeds, without Jesus, are deeds in SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, which can get us to NOWHERE. We must know the God we worship. We do not pray to any God. We pray to God, whose ONLY begotten son is Jesus and. Finally, why we need to knock because the door CAN ONLY be opened by the OWNER from INSIDE and who opens that door depends on who we are calling as we knock.

WHAT I WANT TO BE

INTRODUCTION

After the Satanic Plan and The False Prophet, the call came again to write a third book. This book is aimed primarily at diffusing the last bastion of Islam which is the wrongful belief of the Law.

The Law is holy and it basically exposes the ungodliness and imperfection of man who wants to please God by his works. God wants man to use the Law like a mirror and as man stands before this Mirror, he will then see all the moles and wrinkles on his body that mar his beauty. These moles and wrinkles make him unacceptable before his Maker who had created man in absolute perfection. Man, now convinced of his own ugliness, will seek a way to make himself perfect again. But, after several self-help efforts by man to beautify himself have failed, leaving him disillusioned, he will accept with gratitude, from his Creator that Special Cream (Jesus Christ) which is the ONLY solution to his ugliness and as the only balm that can make him once again acceptable and presentable to his Maker.

Cunningly, Satan uses Islam to tell man that he (man) needs no Special Cream from God. But the devil cannot convince man that there are no moles or wrinkles on his body because when man looks at himself in the Mirror, he sees all. But trust the devil not to give up Forget about all those moles and wrinkles he tells man all the Old Testament prophets also had them but despite that they were acceptable into the presence of their Creator. Are you in any way different from them? Just apply your own efforts to beautify yourself as best as you can until you die. The rest of the moles and wrinkles left on your body will not be taken into account by your Creator. Is he not the forgiving God?

Satan knows that there is no way man can clear away all those moles and wrinkles using his own efforts, but he hid that fact from him and concocted many lies to puffed up the pride of man so that man would experience contentment and satisfaction in his own works. As a result of this terrible subterfuge, Satan robbed many people of eternity.

I pray for all those reading this book to read it with an open mind as the Lord guides them to the Truth which shall set them free.
