Christianity is different from many religions in that its followers are defined by faith rather than by adherence to a prescribed code. St. Paul makes this distinction clear in Galatians 3:24-25: "The law was a kind of tutor in charge of us until Christ should come, when we should be justified through faith; and now that faith has come, the tutor's charge is at an end."

That is to say, whereas [[Judaism]] required (and still requires) its followers to obey the law, Christianity begins with faith, faith in Jesus risen from the dead, and any moral or ethical decisions must follow from that. In this regard, Islam has much more in common with Judaism than it does with Christianity: the word 'Islam' itself means 'submission to God'.
