What is unique about a relationship with Christ when compared to other religious movements and experiences of the first century, is that Christ was God in human form and experienced what humans feel physically and emotionally but was without sin.

We can do nothing to save ourselves, except for believe and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. And then follow Him, in His word, His teaching, His way of serving and being. And He helps us in our path, encouraging, scolding, teaching, loving us.

Serving Jesus is a love relationship. Not so with other religions that used punishment and fear to hold people to them.

The one thing Jesus said we had to do to be saved is believe. So many religions speak of works and limitations upon God. They speak of an angry tyrannical God. Yet Jesus came in compassion so that he could forgive the sin of mankind. No other God came to die on behalf of his created.

We believe in the only person who fulfilled all the promises of the Old Testament. We believe in the person who is the way to eternal life, and not on a bunch of rules to follow for that life. Christianity is the relationship between a true Savior and believers. Religions is a relationship with laws, not a person.
