Generally speaking, most Christians believe that Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity - that he is one of the three divine persons who are God (the other two being God the Father and the Holy Spirit). They believe Jesus is the Son of God, and the Messiah or Christ. Christians have also identified Jesus as "the Word" (or Logos).
The core of the Christian view of Jesus is summed up by John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
It is believed that since Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Book of Genesis, people have been born flawed with the tendency to sin (original sin), and this "separated" humankind from God, making them liable to condemnation to eternal punishment in Hell. Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
But, those who hold these Christian beliefs say that Jesus' death by crucifixion was the perfect sacrifice to reconcile humanity with God and save them from their sins. Most Christians also believe that three days, counting the day he died, after Jesus's death, he rose from the grave and forty days after that, he ascended into Heaven, and that his Ressurrection grants eternal life in heaven to the faithful.
There are several differing views within Christian groups as to whether or not Jesus was divine (and on other issues). The majority of Christian laypeople, theologians, and clergy hold that the Bible states Jesus both to be divine, to claim divinity, and to claim equality with God the Father. Most also believe that Jesus' resurrection is additional proof that he is God. Contrarily, Jehovah's Witnesses maintain that the Bible states that Jesus was not equal with God, never claimed to be God, that the resurrection is additional proof that he is not God, and that other passages often used as "proof texts" are ambiguous about such claims. They view the term "Son of God" as an indication of Jesus' importance to the creator and his status as God's "only-begotton Son" (John 3:16), the "firstborn of all creation" (Col 1:15). Other nontrinitarian groups hold similar beliefs.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints maintains that Jesus is the very same as Jehovah or Yahweh of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible but is distinct from God the Father.

Islamic views
Main article: Isa
In Islam, Jesus (known as Isa), is considered one of God's most-beloved and important prophets. Like Christian writings, the Qur'an holds that Jesus was born without a biological father by the will of God and for this reason is consistently termed "Isa ibn Maryam", a matronymic (since he had no biological father). Similarly Islamic belief also holds that he could perform miracles, and that he will one day return to the world to rid it of evil. However, unlike Christians, Muslims do not consider Jesus to have been the son of God, and do not believe that he died on the cross. Instead, the Qur'an states that his death was only an illusion (done by God) to deceive his enemies, and that Jesus ascended bodily to heaven. Muslims believe he will return to the world in the flesh following Imam Mahdi to defeat the Dajjal (Antichrist-like figure, translated as "Deceiver") once the world has become filled with sin, deception and injustice, and then live out the rest of his natural life.
Muslims also believe that Jesus received a gospel from God (called the Injil) that corresponds to the Christian New Testament, but that it and the Old Testament have both been changed by mankind over time as such that they no longer accurately represent God's original message to mankind. In Muslim traditions, Jesus lived a perfect life of nonviolence, showing kindness to humans and animals (similar to the other Islamic prophets), without material possessions and abstaining from sin.
The Ahmadiyya Muslims believe that Jesus survived the crucifixion and later travelled to Kashmir, where he lived and died as a prophet under the name of Yuz Asaf.

Jewish views
Main article: Jewish view of Jesus
Followers of Judaism reject the belief that Jesus was the Messiah as he did not fit the traditional qualifications and consider him one of the false prophets of which the Hebrew Bible warns in Deuteronomy 13 [3], believing that his appearance was a test by God. Judaism maintains that there were no prophets after the prophet Malachi. Some followers of Judaism do not completely reject all of the historical information contained in Gospels, but do reject all of the confessions by early Christian adherents, particularly those of Paul.

Eastern religions
Hindu beliefs in Jesus vary from those who consider him to have been just a normal man, or even purely a fable, to those who believe that he was an avatar of God. A large number of Hindus consider Jesus to have been a wise guru or yogi, some even suggesting that he spent his "lost years" learning various Hindu beliefs in India. The Hindutva historian P.N. Oak has even claimed that Jesus was in fact Krishna, and that Christianity originated as a form of his worship. Many in the Surat Shabd Yoga tradition regard Jesus as a Satguru. Mahatma Gandhi considered Jesus one of his main teachers and inspirations for Nonviolent Resistance.
