<P> Judaism does not see human beings as inherently flawed or sinful and needful of being saved from it, but rather capable with a free will of being righteous, and unlike Christianity does not closely associate ideas of "salvation" with a New Covenant delivered by a Jewish messiah, although in Judaism Jewish people will have a renewed national commitment of observing God's commandments under the New Covenant, and the Jewish Messiah will also be ruling at a time of global peace and acceptance of God by all people . </P> <P> Judaism holds instead that proper living is accomplished through good works and heartfelt prayer, as well as a strong faith in God . Judaism also teaches that gentiles can receive a share in "the world to come". This is codified in the Mishna Avot 4: 29, the Babylonian Talmud in tractates Avodah Zarah 10b, and Ketubot 111b, and in Maimonides's 12th century law code, the Mishneh Torah, in Hilkhot Melachim (Laws of Kings) 8.11 . </P> <P> The Protestant view is that every human is a sinner, and being saved by God's grace, not simply by the merit of one's own actions, pardons a damnatory sentence to Hell . </P> <P> In Judaism, one must go to those he has harmed in order to be entitled to forgiveness . This means that in Judaism a person cannot obtain forgiveness from God for wrongs the person has done to other people . This also means that, unless the victim forgave the perpetrator before he died, murder is unforgivable in Judaism, and they will answer to God for it, though the victims' family and friends can forgive the murderer for the grief they caused them . </P>
