11) One Of The Good Ones (من الصالحين)
The Qur'an testifies twice that the Son of Mary is one of the good ones (Suras Al 'Imran 3:46; al-An'am 6:85).
He loved God with all his heart, with all his soul and with all his strength, and he loved all men. No lying, craftiness, deception or cheating dwelt in him. No arrogance, hatred or spite came out of him, for "God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him." (1 John 4:16) Christ's compassion for sinners and for those going astray was the main reason why he carried away the sin of the world. God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself through the substitutionary atonement of Christ for us (John 1:29; 3:16; Romans 5:10 etc.). Delve deeply into Christ's way of life and you will find an example for your future as well as peace with God in your heart.
