There are many differences between Christianity and Judaism. Christians believe that there is only one god, that God has created the world distinct from himself but remains active within it, that humans are created at a distance from God and are responsible for their own lives. Also, God is judge of all that they do, but also seeks to help them when they are is need. God reveals himself in three 'persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. However, these three persons are regarded as a unity, sharing one substance.

He was crucified on a cross as a criminal and was seen alive after he was dead and buried. Jesus' death and resurrection was a form of atonement for the actions of humans and restored them to their correct relationship with God.
