restoration

Of course this is top level and gen­er­al­ising to the point of false­hood. How­ever, some­times jux­ta­posing posi­tions like that can help differentiate. 

Chris­tianity	Judaism
I’m a dreadful sinner reliant for every breath on Jesus’ grace.	I am an eternal soul cre­ated with inten­tion for a purpose.
every­thing good I do is merely an act of gratefulness.	I take part in the rec­ti­fi­ca­tion (repair) of the creation!
This world is beyond repair and doomed to destruction.	The world is in a process of get­ting per­fected, and I have a part to play. HaShem does not need me, but wants me to par­take in the process.
This world is due to be destroyed, the eternal world will be in a com­pletely spir­i­tual realm.	The next world(s) will still have a spir­i­tual and a phys­ical component.
All I achieve is purely based on unwar­ranted grace.	There is pro­por­tional judg­ment and reward for behavior. Spir­i­tual dis­ci­pline and ded­i­ca­tion do pay off.
Failing will right­eously result in an eter­nity in hellish con­scious tor­ment, or maybe, best case, the anni­hi­la­tion of my soul.	Failing my mis­sion will result in tem­po­rary (up to 12 months) of shame and then resti­tu­tion, and poten­tially rein­car­na­tion for another attempt.
All I am able to achieve I receive from above. down here is the vale of tears.	My actions here on earth have an impact in the spir­i­tual world, and my spir­i­tu­ality also directly affects the phys­ical world.
The phys­ical and the spir­i­tual are at odds and fighting against each other, with the phys­ical already doomed and only there to be overcome.	The spir­i­tual is the orig­inal. Every­thing phys­ical exists as a man­i­fes­ta­tion of a spir­i­tual reality. All our activity can raise the sparks of spir­i­tu­ality “hidden” in the physical.
“religion”: a human attempt to re-align with a higher being of their own div­ina­tion / spir­i­tual insight, bottom-up	top-down direct divine rev­e­la­tion plus human stewardship
► despair and a strong sense of weak­ness and futility	► empow­er­ment and a strong sense of my own sig­nif­i­cance in the grand scheme of things
