Re: What's the difference between "Children of God" and "Servant/Slave of God"?
I second that. This is a great, great thread. Beautiful listening to the way my brothers in worshiping God, Christian or Muslim, describe their relationship to him.
Beautiful point. It reminds me of something John the Baptist said of Christ...after me will come one more powerful than I, and I am unfit to even untie the strap of his sandal.
While there is a difference in talking about Allah (swt) and Christ (pbuh), the point is the same. We are unfit to even do the slave labor of Allah (swt), but because of his love he does not banish us forever from his presence.
Peace
