Christianity is based on faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind. Jesus was the promised messiah and king prophesied about throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament is the explaination and revelation of His coming and that He will come again.
We put our faith in Jesus Christ that He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead to cover our sins forever and that we might also overcome sin and death. He will forgive us for our sins and bring us into new life in Christ. We leave our old life of sin behind and walk on in newness of life in Christ.
John 14.6 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father except by me."
Romans 10.9-11 "9 If you use your mouth to say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. 10 We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed."
Hope that helps.
Jesus Loves You

Christianity is based on living in harmony with and preaching the "good news" of God's Messianic Kingdom by Christ Jesus. The true Christian congregation is organized primarily to perform this global Scriptural assignment.
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations
(Luke 9:6) They went through the territory from village to village, declaring the good news
(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
By stark contrast with so-called "religious" activists, however, Jehovah's Witnesses note pointedly that biblical "good news" is not about such things as abortion or homosexuality or the death penalty or Iraq or pharmaceuticals or psychiatry. Individual Jehovah's Witnesses may have opinions on such issues, but they do not advocate for or against these issues as though it were a primary message from God.
Sadly, so-called "religious" activists distract from the real message of God and obfuscate the bible's "Good News". These self-absorbed religionists focus so much attention of their human agendas that they ignore the godly teachings that can really help people.
Jehovah's Witnesses go from house to house to encourage and upbuild. Their work is to spread the "Good News", which is about the Kingdom of God, and the blessings the Messianic King Christ Jesus will bring.
(Luke 8:1) Journeying from city to city and from village to village, preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God
(Acts 10:36) Declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ

It's not really a religion..but a faith, a relationship, with Jesus Christ. That's what it's really based on. Telling people about Jesus and bringing them back home (Heaven.) Share the Love!!!

Accepting Jesus as the one who died for our sins and has paid for us through his blood. That we cannot earn our way to heaven no matter how good we try to be. Jesus is the only way to the Father. That Jesus was born of a virgin, crucified, dead and buried and rose again on the third day and now sits on the right hand of the Father and sent the Holy Spirit back to us. We believe in the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe if you confess your sins to God through Jesus ,they will be forgiven and if you invite the Holy Spirit He will live inside of you.

It's basically Judaism, except that we believe not only in the teachings of Jesus Christ, but that he was indeed God manifest in the flesh.
