We serve a risen God. Our God is the only one that is still alive! Mohammed's, Krishna, Buddha, etc are all dead. Jesus is alive and sitting on the right hand of the father!

That's an easy one. Grace is what distinguishes us from all others. In Christianity, salvation is given as a free gift- you don't have to earn it by the things you do. All you have to do is ask for it. Every other religion thinks that what happens to you after you die is based in one way or another on what actions you took in life. Christianity proclaims that anything you did in your life, no matter how bad or how often or how long, simply doesn't matter anymore. Repent, even on your death bed, and all is forgiven. Every sin is washed away, and God will throw open the gates of Heaven to the vilest murderer or rapist who ever walked the streets, if he truly believes. No punishment, no expiation, nothing at all like that. That's the glory about Christianity. It's the only religion in the world where you're given the keys to Heaven just for the asking.

The difference is that in every other religion they have to earn their salvation by good works.
In Christianity Christ has paid the price for us at Calvary. It is done, It is finished.
However there are still some religions that you may think are Christian which still believe in good works, these religions are NOT Christian so dont be confused. if they believe that they have to earn their way to heaven by some or any means they are NOT Christian.
i.e. JWs have to work and go round the doors for so many hours a week to "earn" their salvation.
Roman Catholics also believe that they have to "earn" their salvation by being Rcs recieving the sacraments and doing good works and of course parting with lots of money to the priests even after their death by paying to get out of an imaginary place called purgatory! They also pray to dead people to save them, it all gets very complicated for rcs!
The real truth is simple, Christ died "once for all" and it is a FREE gift Romans 5:15

Martin S above is absolutely SPOT-ON.
We cannot buy or earn our way to heaven. God made it a free gift of His grace through His Son...
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.
2 Timothy 1:9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began

There is only one way to heaven and that is through the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
John 10:9
Jesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by [Jesus'] blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

The good news is, the gift of salvation is just that--a gift--it is free. If you try to buy the gift, you will never be able to afford it, so all you need to do is accept it and say, "thank you."
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

All other religions teach that a person's salvation is dependent upon them and not God. But God says that we can't know Him or save ourselves, only through faith in the finished work of his Son Christ Jesus can we be saved and even there He has to help us out.

We are the only ones who have a Savior, whom we follow, who died for our sins so we wouldn't have to. Our God Blesses and Gives while the other gods of other religions demand and demand. Their leaders are dead. Ours rose from the dead and is at the right hand of the Father.

Christianity comes from a belief in Jesus Christ as God incarnate, born into our world as a human to redeem us from original sin and open us the doors of heaven for us because He loves us and was willing to die for our sins.

we believe that Jesus was the chosen one of God and that he was born of a virgin and was sacrificed for our sins and all the sin of the world and that he rose from the dead to give us the promise of eternal life and so we pray the blood of Jesus over our sins and trust in his promise of life everlasting and we read and pray to keep our faith so we can be the best persons we can be and we ask our friends and anyone else to join us for we are required to tell this to anyone that needs Jesus and according to the bible the whole world needs a spiritual life with God

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
Jesus? Christianity? .
Your opinions only, no parroting or C&P from a Bible.
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
