God's stand is His Son (righteous perfection). One sin is
enough to send a person to Hell. So the person committing
one sin is in need of a Savior the same as someone who does
nothing but commit sin their entire life.
The gift of repentance must be present for a person to come
to Jesus and ask forgiveness. You cannot do it without God
first having drawn you to do it from within.
It's a move of the spirit, not the flesh, and it is the spirit
which gives life, not the flesh, nor the needs of the flesh.
Islam fails in that it is a legalistic set of rituals one
must do on the flesh, and even then you are not guaranteed
that you will be saved even by the Qur'an, because the final
say is with Allah, not any promises he has made to followers
of Islam.
Christianity, the entire Old Testament and traditions of the
Jewish believers since Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, speak for-
ward to the coming of the Messiah, who is Jesus Christ.

The age of Gentiles is about completed on this planet. Those
who are born again Christians remaining alive will soon be
raptured away from this Earth. Those who remain will be un-
fortunate and forced to go through the Great Tribulation, a
time of great deception poured out on the ungodly, those who
have rejected Jesus Christ.
It's still possible to be saved during that time, but it will
be much, much, much, much, much harder than it is now because
you will be surrounded by the full-on press of the anti-Christ
spirit and all his demon imps pulling and tugging at your
flesh, your feelings, your emotions, your thoughts, and the
fullness of the ungodliness of man will be laid bare for all
to see.
The Bible records that during this time, very few repent, and
for those who do most of them are killed for their faith.
If you are left behind after the rapture:
Don't take the mark of the beast.
Do call upon Jesus Christ to save you /IMMEDIATELY/.
Do not follow after the ways of the heathen.
Pursue holiness and Jesus Christ's teachings even unto
death.

I'm glad you are seeing how the Qur'an is flawed, Amine.
God is opening your eyes to the truth. But please know
you will not find it in Islam.
Read the Bible and you will learn who Jesus is, why He came
to the Earth, what it means for you, and for you in eternity.
It is the greatest love story ever told. Try and find that
calling from love /ANYWHERE/ in the Qur'an, where Allah him-
self stepped in to our history and did a thing to rescue us,
rather than asking people to kill infidels who don't convert,
or force them to pay the tax to stay alive... etc.
You can see how Jesus loves you by how He went to the cross
for you ... even though you were guilty.
The New Testament teaches you about Jesus coming to the Earth
the first time, and His soon return the second time. And the
Old Testament teaches you about how wicked man is, even under
God's guidance, and how we cannot save ourselves. This is
further emphasized in the New Testament under Paul's writings
in Romans (chapters 7 and 8) and Galatians.
-----
We cannot save ourselves. A criminal who's committed murder
cannot become an un-murderer by doing good deeds to make up
for the crime. We need someone to commute our guilt, and
that's exactly what Jesus did at the cross ... taking our
guilt upon Himself and then dying with it to pay the price
of our punishment in our place. This is what it means when
you take communion, to "eat his flesh" and "drink his blood,"
that you remember His substitution for you, that His flesh,
and His blood has been turned over to God for punishment in
our place.
