Was the Gospel for One Nation?
A friend argued that the Holy Bible was exclusively for one nation, contrasting it with the Quran's universality. However, reading the Bible reveals this is not true.
Transcript:
This friend of ours has written: "Know that those books were only for that nation, but the Quran is for humanity."
Thank you for your opinion, dear friend. I believe you yourself have faith in such a thing, but you claim it without reading it. Have you read the Holy Bible, which you say was only for that nation? Or have you read the Torah, the Psalms, the writings of the prophets, which you say were only for that nation?
Let's read the Holy Bible. In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 14, the word of God says: 'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.'
The meaning of gospel is good news. So when the Holy Bible says, 'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations,' it is clearly telling us, you and me, that this gospel, which is about the kingdom of God and is not for one nation but for all nations, is a testimony for all nations, and until all nations, all peoples, hear this gospel, the end will not come.
So I hope you hear this Word yourself, read it, and see what the Holy Bible is about? Before you claim that those books were for that nation. I hope you do not listen to others' words, but read the Word of God.
Thank you for your comment.
