## Resource

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine concludes the mini-series with a powerful and thought-provoking conversation titled, “Do We Believe in the Same God?” Joined by Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric, the discussion explores one of the most important and often misunderstood questions between Christianity and Islam. Drawing from his personal journey—from growing up as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ—Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric unpacks the theological differences between the God of the Bible and the understanding of God in Islam. He explains that while both faiths profess belief in one God, the deeper you go, the more significant the differences become. Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric highlights key distinctions, including the nature of God’s love, His relationship with humanity, and how He reveals Himself. He explains that in Christianity, God is not only loving, but is love—and that this love is unconditional, relational, and demonstrated through Jesus Christ. In contrast, he describes how in Islam, God’s actions are ultimately tied to His will, and love is often understood in a conditional sense. He also discusses the significance of the incarnation—God entering time and space through Jesus—and the relational nature of the Trinity, emphasizing that God exists in eternal relationship and invites humanity into that same relationship. This stands in contrast, he explains, to a view of God as distant and transcendent without personal relational engagement. Additionally, Dr. Eric speaks about God as Father in the Bible, the assurance found in His promises, and the concept of covenant—highlighting that salvation in Christ is not uncertain, but grounded in God’s character and faithfulness. This episode invites listeners to go beyond surf…
