What is unique about a relationship with Christ when compared to other religious movements and experiences of the first century?

For me, what I believe sets a relationship with Christ “apart” from all others.. is “accessibility”. When you choose to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, you have just accepted the creator of the universe to come and make a home inside you. When you believe , you have just tapped into the power that is Living… Living and Active, able to do great and mighty things. You have access to His love, His forgiveness . Accepting means you are heirs , and co -heirs to all he has to offer in this life and in the next. I can access Jesus anytime , any place , anywhere. He is always accessible. I don’t have to go through some “ritual” to access him. I call on His name, and he meets me wherever I am. That relationship is everything, and what other god is like that? There is no other god, and none like My God.

A relationship with Christ is a life of peace. You have forgiveness when you make a mistake, you are loved unconditionally, you can have hope that you will be able to live with Jesus in heaven even though you made mistakes. Other religions hold you to an impossible standard you can never reach. Relationship changes everything. A relationship is open to all people regardless of race, status, education, occupation, or works.
