The Quran is a false book of religion teaching that Allah is God. There is only one God and it is not Allah. There is no Allah. The bible teaches only one way to be saved. It says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will have eternal life. 

Accept Jesus as your only savior and you will be saved. No works are required for salvation by grace. It is a free gift to all those that believe the Gospel. By grace you are saved, through faith, without works, (nothing from us) so no man can boast.

Jesus lived a perfect life, as God and man, went to the cross and took all of our sins upon Him, and rose again on the third day. That is the gospel. Those who have accepted Christ as their only way of salvation, are saved and have eternal life. Those that do not accept it are not saved.

Bible repentance means to change your mind and believe the gospel. Just believe the gospel and you will be saved. 

For God so loved the world, that He sent His only Son, that who so ever believes on Him, has eternal life and can never be condemned. He that believeth not is condemned already.

For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jesus blood sacrifice is sufficient to save any one who accepts it by faith alone, without works. 

There is no other way to be saved from hell. Jesus came to save sinners which we all are. But God poured out His wrath on Jesus when He was on the cross so that He can not pour out His wrath on us who have believed on the Son of God that takes away the sin of the world.

The God of the bible is the only God there is. Allah is a false god made up by men. False gods send people to hell. Only Jesus is able to save us when we accept Him as our only savior. His blood sacrifice is all we need for eternal life. 

It is by faith alone. Believe that Jesus died for all your sins, gave you His perfect righteousness, which is the only righteousness God will accept, and you will be saved from hell.

Does the Quran replace the Bible?

Living in Saudi Arabia for 4 years, you gain a deep interest in the Muslim way of life. How the Quran affects their lives —and, as a Christian, reading the Quran, you come to understand the Muslim mindset about what they believe and why. It was an exciting time spent living with them.

Many Muslims believe that the Bible was annulled, abolished, nullified, and cancelled the Bible and that the Qur'an replaces the Gospel. But when you read the words of Jesus we note that he came to fulfil the law. Matthew 5:17-18, Rotherham Bible: “Do not think that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, I came not to pull down, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter or one point may in nowise pass away from the law till all be accomplished.”

Interestingly, the Qur'an praises the Bible as God's guiding truth (Surahs 5:46, 3:3, 10:94-95). 

Surah 5:46: "a guide and lesson for those who take heed of God"
Surah 3:3: "He sent down the Torah and the Gospel"
Surah 10:94-95: "The Truth has come to you from your Lord, so be in no doubt and do not deny God's signs - then you would become one of the losers"

The above quotes from the Surahs show that the Quran accepts the Bible as God's word.

The Quran praises the Bible and commands Muslims to read the Taurat (Old Testament) and Injeel (Arabic for "Gospel”). 

Christians consider the Bible, including the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), to be divinely inspired scripture. The Gospels are viewed as accurate, authoritative accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. 

Conclusion:

So, in relation to your query, does the Quran replace the Bible? The answer is NO:

Without a doubt as Christians we believe 100% that Bible is the WORD of GOD – and Paul sums it up very well in 2Tim 3:16-17, Rotherham Bible: “Every scripture [is] God-breathed and profitable—unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness, 17  in order that ready may be the man of God, unto every good work being well-prepared."

God guided the thoughts of his prophets to convey his message. This is the sense of the Bible's statement: "All Scripture is inspired of God.” The phrase “inspired of God” can also be rendered “God-breathed." (2 Timothy 3:16; The Emphasised Bible)

Without doubt, God is the Author of the Bible. He put his thoughts into the minds of the Bible writers. Through this unique book, God has revealed his will for us. He has also revealed facets of his personality, including his love, justice, and mercy. Psalm 119:160 assures us the following (Rotherham Bible): "The sum of thy word is truth, and age-abiding is every one of thy righteous regulations."
