A BRIEF BIBLICAL ANSWER

Yes. God’s love is not limited to one nationality or religious community. “Muslim” comes from Arabic Muslim, meaning a person who submits to God. Muslims and Christians differ about Jesus, but Christians are called to love their neighbors and share the Gospel with respect, not hostility. Jesus offers the invitation to believe in him to the world.

Study the original language: Greek word study: κόσμον (*kosmon*) means “the world” in John 3:16. The invitation is not restricted to one people.
