Summary/Abstract: The unique character of Christianity among the religions of the world means that it can not be reduced to a level shared with other religions. This is because the Christian religion contains the fullness of God’s revelation realized in Jesus in Christ, God-Man, the only Savior of the world. This means that fullness of salvation is present in Christianity. Non-Christian religions, on the other hand, do not convey the fullness of God’s grace and are marked by numerous deficiencies and imperfections. Nevertheless, they have their meaning, although limited in comparison to Christianity, because of the grace of God present in them to some extent. The Mediator of grace, however, is always the only Savior and Fullness of Revelation, Jesus Christ, which testifies to His unique and absolute character. Showing the unique character of Christianity is an argument for the credibility of Christ’s Revelation, and thus the motive for living the Gospel.
