Best Answer

Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah and that he died to save us from our sins.

Jews are still waiting for the Messiah. Christians try not to sin because they love God and are thankful; they cannot earn salvation - it's just a gift. Jews try to be saved by following the law outlined in the Torah.

That's the basic difference as I understand it; of course there are other differences.
