Hi Eliyahu
Here is my understanding as a Christian of how the notion of there being One God holds true for Christianity as well as Judaism. There is one God, God the Father. In the Book of John he starts it out as talking about in the beginning was the "Word" and so on. Jesus then was the incarnate "Word of God". Just as the ancient Jews unerstood Yahweh as being incarnate in the Temple Christians understood Yahweh as being incarnate in Jesus, through His Holy Spirit.
Jesus was Jewish. Jesus prayed the Psalms and prayed to the Father who was of course Yahweh. It is Christian belief that Jesus
ascended to the Father and fulfilled the role of the "Son of Man" as per Daniel 7.
In a very real sense Christianity is truly a Jewish sect but we just haven't quite come to an agreement yet on the messianic thing. There is so much more that brings us together that there is that separates us.
May Yahweh bless you.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
