Christianity leaves no loose ends. The buyback plan loop. God is holy and our sin separates us from him. The justice of God demands a price to pay the price of death bloodshed. The grace of God can be a substitute to pay the price for us. In the Old Testament, this time has been achieved by the sacrifice of animals. Not just any animal, but animals was in accordance with the specifications of God, were firstborn men and impeccable. God accepted the sacrifice of the animal as payment for the price of human sin. But because an animal can not sin (is a-moral) that the sacrifice had to be repeated again and again, each time a new sin has been committed.
Then love God sent Jesus, His Son to earth to pay the price of his blood. Jesus – as the Old Testament sacrificial animals – firstborn men and impeccable. But above all it was a sin by their own choice. This makes it the perfect (and only) Lam blood sacrifice was sufficient for all sins of past, present and future. By accepting payment through faith in Jesus our sins can be reconciled to God in this life time and after our death, when this approach is fully realized.
The plan of redemption is what the Bible is. It is revealed and disseminated throughout the early history of man. It begins in Genesis with the story of Adam and Eve and their sin. It follows from the patriarchs, the law of Moses and the Israelites. The New Testament says that Jesus' life and sacrifice. Do not leave open ends. If you accept the gift of Jesus through faith, we can be assured of our salvation. Otherwise, we can be sure our condemnation. Simple as that.
Other religions do not offer a comprehensive plan and style.
Hinduism says that we should "give" through many cycles of reincarnation. However, the believer will never know for sure how he or she is in achieving this goal. You never know if the death of the soul comes to Moksha, or whether it requires another cycle of rebirth, life and death.
The situation is similar to Buddhism. When we are truly free suffering? How to measure and how do you know? You die, and then what? Do you disappear into Nirvana or rebirth as a human being or some other body. Such as Hinduism, which seems to leave many questions unanswered.
The Muslims believe that after death he or she will face trial from God. And the believer will be judged by the story of his life as a Muslim and obedient subject and the balance of their good and bad deeds. "Then those whose balance [of good deeds] is heavy – it will be successful. But those whose scales are light are those who have lost their souls, in hell is fulfilled "(Sura 23:102-3). However, when enough good deeds outweigh bad deeds? How does this or the whole economy? When you reach a point in life that we can die with certainty which will enter in heaven? The Muslims always face this problem with uncertainty. Together the Quran, the believer can be sure of your eternal destiny, but there is no guarantee. Even Muhammad himself was unsure of his own hi. Thus, Muslims are working hard to reach heaven, but live in constant fear of Allah will judge his arrogance and sent to hell. Only Muslims to jihad, martyrdom be assured of heaven.
Only Christianity, by the grace of God through faith in the sacrifice Christ, it gives a guaranteed path hi.
