Christian beliefs vary, as there are 2 biilion Christians. Most recognize Jesus as Savior and the Son of God. A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus.
When asked what the greatest commandment is, " ³⁷Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:37-40 KJV) So there it is from the central figure of Christianity himself.

Answer

The main beliefs of Christians comes from the NT Scriptures:

First is: John 3.16: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

To follow that : John 14.6: "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

John 11.25: "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live"

And then theres: Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."

This passage shows how Christianity came to be.
