What are similarities and differences between an immanence religion and Sikhism?

One example
of an immanence religion is Christianity. While Christianity
teaches that God cannot be seen or approached, through God's incarnation as Jesus Christ, a man
who is both fully God and fully man, God becomes immanent, meaning an inherent presence among
man. Christianity also teaches that God is immanent through the Holy Spirit, which acts as an
ever-present manifestation of God.

Sikhism, on
the other hand, teaches that while God would never incarnate human form, He is immanent through
his presence in the world. In this way their belief in an immanent god is comparable to the
Christian belief in the Holy Spirit. As Guru Arjan, Nanak V once said, "God is beyond
colour and form, yet His/Her presence is clearly visible" ("Sikhism,"
fantastico.herobo.com).

Another similarity between Sikhism and Christianity
is that both teach that there is only one God and that salvation is the mergence of the soul
with God, which is achieved through an honest and sin-free life.
