The Bible tells us that all people have gone astray and no longer have a relationship with God the creator and sustainer of all things. This is called sin.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

The Bible says that one day God will judge all people and because of their sin.

But the Bible also says that God has provided a way for people to escape the judgement they are due, (this is salvation) salvation is through the death of Jesus Christ who died to appease God's wrath.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

To obtain salvation a person must believe this and has accept God's gift of salvation from judgment.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

1John 5:11-13 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God

You have to believe that salvation comes by forgiveness of sins, through Jesus. After all, if Jesus was only a man, or did not even exist, then he can not forgive sins and there is no such thing as salvation.

For some denominations, belief is enough. For others, repentance of sins, or good works are also required.

Jesus didn't say who could obtain salvation. Jesus came to call the nation of Israel to repent and turn to God and much of His teaching was about Israel repenting. But we know Jesus told His disciples the way of salvation because after Jesus' death and resurrection His disciples preached salvation by faith in God. They preached salvation is available to all who believe: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. It is recorded Jesus talked to Nicodemus about salvation.
