Ex-Moslems Explain ‘Why I Chose Jesus’
A new study reveals why some 600 ex-Moslems decided to
leave Islam to follow Jesus, even in the face of heavy
persecution, sacrifice and death threats.
According to Professor Dudley Woodberry, who conducted
the study, the most important reasons were as follows:
“Many were attracted by the certainty of salvation in Jesus
… He does not retaliate, is humble, loves the poor and
outcasts; the power of His love is unique, and one can
enter a relationship with Him, completely different to
Islam.
Christians are the only people who really work for
justice for the poor and repressed; Christians’
unconditional love, and their peaceful and contented aura
are very noticeable. Also, a number of ex-Moslems had
supernatural experiences which were decisive in their
finding Christ.”
Woodberry is on staff at Fuller Theological Institute.
