We are born into a world where God is in command but Satan is in control.
The commands of God are centred on love. He commands love towards Himself, which establishes His people as those who let Him be their Commander. Then His command to these His people is that they show each other the same kind of love that they would wish each other bestow upon them. This command is preserved both in Islamic teachings and Christian teachings. It comes to all God’s people through the Lord Jesus Christ, who God has sent. God commands us all to trust His Christ, to believe in the great virtue and saving power of Jesus, who brought us the teachings God gave him, and gave his life for our purification and eternal life, then raised from the dead by God.
Satan, however, is in control in this world. His way is centred on hate. Murder is common among those who follow his way. Murder and lying.
So we each need to be made less like Satan, and more like God. That is what is promised as the outcome of believing in Jesus and following his teachings and the commands given through him. The outcome is a loving people, looking out for each other, centred on providing food, clothing, shelter, emotional support, in how each prioritises visiting each other in times of need. The fellowship between these comes not from merely spreading inspired teachings and spiritual gifts, but in meeting the needs of one another in practical ways, and focussing on this as the way taught by Jesus. This is what we come to in the world into which we are born, if God favours us in letting us find this way of Jesus. It prepares us for a truly divine eternal future, together with each other, and together with the Father and His Son. The resurrection is ahead of us all as the doorway into blessed eternity.
