Explanation:

Christianity is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life, teachings and miracles of Jesus of Nazareth, as they are presented in the New Testament, which is the second part of the Bible, the sacred book of Christians. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, just as the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament, who suffered, was crucified, descended into hell and rose from the dead to give eternal life to those who believe and trust in him for redemption of their sins.
