Faith Q&A › My Faith

Is the coming of God to man unique to Christianity alone?

The answer

Christianity is unique in that regards. Some teach that the overcoming of sin is in the obedience of God, and the keeping of His laws and statues. To them, sound religiosity is in the drawing of man towards God. Christianity, on the other hand, sees that sin and evil are spiritual maladies, and that man without God is ill. This is why the Master Christ came to humanity as the Only True Physician.

God sought after man in order to heal man and make him whole, and to deliver him from all of his passions. This is what sets Christianity apart from the others.
