Injil Markus 3:32  And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

3:33  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

3:34  And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Being biologically related to Abraham is of no benefit if one is a disbeliever in Messiah Jesus.  Disbelievers includes all those who refuse to read and learn from the New Testament portion of the Holy Bible because that is where we find the teaching of the holy one from the one true God who is the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob accurately preserved for us.  Anyone who believes in Him is closer, more dear to him, than a brother beloved.

3:35  For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

“will of God”  Here is a place where so many become so very confused, and it is because they mistake the will of sinful men for the will of a holy God.  Your Imam will try to tell you the will of God – however has he personally read and studied the Injil?  If he has not, how can you trust him?  If he claims the Injil is corrupt then he is also accusing the Koran of being corrupt because according to the Koran the Holy Bible is not corrupted.  If a person does not respect Isa enough to read the Injil then that same person is blaspheming and dishonoring Isa, pbuh, in reality.  In the Torah in 1^st Samuel we are told that they who honor him will be honored and they who do not honor him will be dishonored.  The Injil Matthew further elaborates on that fact.

If you go out amongst some trees in the summer, you may see a branch up in a tree with withered leaves or only dry twigs.  It seems to be part of the tree.  However upon closer examination one sees that it has become detached from its source of life and now it is only a burden on a living tree.  The test of a true relationship with the tree is life.  That is also the test of a true relationship with Jesus.  There are many who claim to be “Christian” but their character demonstrates otherwise.

The power which binds the iron to a magnet is unseen but it is real and the iron, while it is attached to the magnet, picks up some properties of the magnet: the power that binds believers to Jesus and makes them members of Him (true Christians) and is every bit as real and character changing.
