“[Wisdom] is like a lamp, O king, which a man might introduce into a house in darkness. When the lamp had been brought in it would dispel the darkness, cause radiance to arise, and light to shine forth, and make the objects there plainly visible. Just so would wisdom in a man have such effects as were just now set forth.”
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Namaste
Peace and Love

There are several similarities in all the religions. There is only one truth, and all religions reflect portions of this truth. Some of them match, thats all.

Nearly all religions require their followers to work towards salvation or a higher calling or a better life next time around or whatever you like to call it.
But only Christianity says you are saved, not by hard work, not by following hundreds of laws, but by faith.
