Why we all can't get along

Whenever the topic of religion comes up, many will try to play down the differences in religion by saying, "Well, we all serve the same God, don't we?"

John 5:22 refutes this line of thinking.

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgement to the Son.

Why can't one be saved by faith in God without trusting Christ as their savior? Because it will be Christ, Whom they will meet in the judgment.

The one who follows the Jewish religion believes he will face God as being his judge. He believes repentance and faith toward God (not Jesus) will bring salvation. The problem with this line of thinking is that when this person dies and faces the judgment, it will be Jesus Christ, Whom he rejected, Who will judge him.

The same holds true for the Muslim. My understanding of Islam is that it is a religion of works designed to help one avoid the wrath of Allah. However, when a good Muslim dies, he will not face the judgment of Allah. He will face the judgment of Jesus Christ, Whom the Islamic religion placed on the same playing field as Muhammad. He will face the judgment of Christ, Whose people the Koran pronounce judgment upon as being "people of the book." The Incarnate Deity that Islam played down will judge those who followed that religion.

When a Christian dies, he will face the judgment of Jesus Christ, Whom he accepted when he repented of his sins and trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior.

So my question is, when you die, who do you expect to see in the judgment? If it is anyone but Christ, then you will be surprised. When you see Christ in the judgment, what will be His ruling? Well done good and faithful servant? Or depart from me for I know you not?
