Holiday rituals are a significant aspect of religious practice for most world religions. For example, two groups recently observed their most important annual rites. Muslims concluded Ramadan on September 10th after a month of daily fasting and nightly feasting. Also, on September 17th, Jews observed Yom Kippur, the annual Day of Atonement. These faiths trace their spiritual genealogy to Abraham, and Christianity also recognizes this patriarch through the Old Testament roots of our faith. Thus, the world religions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are linked historically. The reality is, however, that all three religions cannot be true even though there is a common ancestry. Christianity is tolerant in recognizing absolute freedom of religious choice for everyone, but doctrinal fidelity is intolerant also. This fanaticism is simple agreement with what Jesus claimed. “I am the way and the truth and the life…” (John 14:6) The clear Biblical doctrine is that truth and salvation are through Jesus alone. Jesus demanded absolute allegiance to Him through relationship of grace. Piety toward God and fidelity with others is not due to religion, but is the greater value of a transformation of the heart. As Christ-followers, our affirmation is that Jesus is Lord. (Romans 10:8-10) We are then empowered for a lifestyle of grace that is much more than an annual ritual. Christianity as a part of the religious community in the USA teaches respect for the beliefs of others. An individual Christian’s relationship with Muslims, Jews, or even an irreligious person must always be loving and respectful. Truth spoken in love leads Christ-followers to invite anyone regardless of their worldview or prior religion to know Jesus personally by grace through faith. The greater value of Christianity is that faith shapes the culture instead of allowing the culture to change our faith!
