Complex question, but most basically, because Christianity claimed to be the fulfilment of Judaism. God, in what Christians called the Old Testament and Jews call the Law and the Prophets, promised a Messiah who would atone for the sins of Adam and Eve, and of mankind generally, as well as fulfilling a number of other prophecies in those writings. Jesus claimed to be this Messiah (or Christ in Greek, meaning Anointed) and therefore the fulfilment of the law and the prophets.
