Christianity is unique in that it teaches that there is only one God in all existence who exists as a Trinity (one God in three distinct persons), Jesus being the second person of the Trinity in flesh, that Jesus died on the cross and physically rose from the dead, and that the forgiveness of our sins against God can be received only through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross by which we are forgiven of our sins.

How do you explain the christian gospel?
The gospel is message that through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-4) people may receive forgiveness of their sins and escape the righteous judgment of God the Father. Jesus, who was God in flesh (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9), bore our sins in his body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24), as a sacrificial offering on behalf of our sins (1 John 2:2). furthermore, this forgiveness of sins is received by faith alone in Christ alone (Romans 4:1-5).
Why are doctrine and theology important?
Doctrine and theology are important because without them, we cannot accurately understand who God is nor would we be able to accurately represent the gospel message to people by which they can be delivered from the punishment due to their sins. Doctrine is the right teaching as revealed in the word of God and theology is the study of God and what he has given us. Where theology teaches us the general principles of God in his revelation in the Bible, doctrine is a proper summation of what is taught within the holy pages of Scripture.
