(Colossians 2:7)
What makes Christianity different from the other religions?
"Christianity makes several claims that others do not. First, all other religions exhort man to reach up to God and grasp hold of Him through their own efforts. Christianity is the only religion where God reaches down to man. Second, other religions are systems of do’s and don’ts to appease God; whereas Christianity is a relationship with God.
Third, Christianity looks to the Bible as the singular source of Truth. Finally, Christianity is based upon truly the most amazing event in all of human history—the resurrection." (gotquestions.org)
To me the big difference is that we can have a relationship with a living person (who is not physically seen) but shows Himself in every aspect of our lives.
He lives to minister to our well-being today, preparing us for that day when He will take us home to be with Him forever.
We are to be rooted and built up in Him through faith, trusting Him for all things. And we are to be ultimately thankful for all that we have in Jesus Christ. If it were not for Him, where would we be? Today and for eternity? GP
