Salvation:

In general terms, salvation is being rescued (or saved) from a difficult or desperate situation.  From the Christian perspective, salvation, or rescue, occurs through Jesus.

The purpose of Jesus' coming to earth was to die in place of all of us for the wrongs we have done.  In essence, he paid our fine and did our time, so that we won't have to.  If we accept this gift or act of Jesus', it makes us right with God the Father, who is perfect, thereby allowing us to be with him for all eternity.  To accept this gift (it's free) and start on a journey with Jesus is easy; Jesus simply said, "Come, follow me," (Mark 1:17).
