The Four Noble Truths have nothing to do with "salvation". Buddhism does not have the concept of salvation. Buddhism has the concept of enlightenment which a person achieves by their own efforts, there is no god to help them. Salvation is a Christian concept and is seen to be a gift from the Christian god. The Four Noble Truths are a statement of the hunan condition (all life is essentially troubled by suffering), an explanation for this condition (suffering results from desire), an obvious remedy (ending desire will end suffering), and a pointer towards how to initiate this solution (the route to ending suffering is found in the Eightfold Path)
If you can't understand the Four Noble Truths by seeing them in your life, there is no possibility of becoming wise enough to become free.
