The Egyptians believed you could get to eternal life through works and being remembered.

However, Christians believe God, knowing our failures and our faults, loves us and doesn't want us to go to Hell, and so provides a way for us to get eternal life through faith in Him. (you *can* have works (do good things) without faith, but you *can't* have faith without works, and neither go to eternal life through works alone, cause *no one* is good enough for that)
