Christianity started off as nothing more than a sect of Judaism, so many of the Jewish teachings also apply to Christianity, for example the ten commandments.

However, since those who spread Christianity wanted lots of people to convert really quickly, they abolished some of the more outdated or strict rules (such as dietary restrictions), and obviously the peaceful teachings of Jesus emphasised.

But apart from that, most of the laws and teachings are very similar.
