Christian worldview distinctives: personal God, imago Dei, sin, grace, salvation by faith

Christianity's fundamental claims: (1) A personal, eternal, omnipresent God who created all things; (2) God is love — Winger asserts no other religion makes claims as extreme about God's love as Christianity; other religions that adopted this concept came after Christianity; (3) Humans are made in God's image (imago Dei) — giving every human immeasurable value, not merely elevated animals; (4) Sin causes suffering and separation from God; (5) Jesus comes as both human and divine, dies as a substitute for human sin, rises from the dead; (6) Salvation is by grace through faith alone — purely a free gift. This worldview is internally coherent and distinct from every other religion.
