The Jewish faith has a very long history, and rests mainly on:
1.) The Faith of their Fore-Father, Abraham: who believed God and was credited with Righteousness.
2.) The Law: as given by their Law-giver Moses, in the Torah, the first five books of The Bible.
3.) The Promises of God: to bless them and make them a blessing.
4.) The Messiah: who will come and bring God's promises to a total and final fulfillment.
The Christian faith rests mainly on:
1.) The birth, life, death, resurrection, and final return of Jesus Christ the Son of God (Christ: Greek word for Messiah): who is God's promised Messiah. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Colossians 1:15.
