The cross and salvation - Muslim Christian Dialogue - Jamal Badawi

The Christian perspective on salvation is that no one can merit the grace of God by performing rituals, good deeds, asceticism or meditation, because grace is the result of his initiative.
However, this does not mean that humans have no responsibility and are saved whatever their attitude toward the Savior might be.
In order to be forgiven and brought back into a personal relationship with God, it is not enough that the grace of God exists as potential solution.
It must be claimed personally by the sinful person. Only then can the atoning death of Christ become an actual solution for one's sins.
