In a Christian view, Jesus fulfills the role of Savior with what is called the Atonement.
There are two major separations that keep us from returning to God:
#1- Physical Death. - Since the transgressions of Adam, our bodies experience death.
#2- Spiritual Death. - Sin and mistakes cause us to have a spiritual separation from God.
Both separations are resolved through Jesus Christ.
Justice and Mercy are two separate principles that seem to contradict each other. If Justice is served, mercy is forgotten. If mercy is given, justice is denied.
Christians believe that no unclean thing can dwell in the presence of God. As we all have weaknesses and make mistakes in our lives, a just God would require there to be a punishment for all sin. The punishment for sin is a separation with God. He does not leave us, but rather, we, through our choices, distance ourselves from Him.
But what of mercy?
Christians believe that the sins of the repentant person are forgiven and the punishment associated by that sin was taken by Jesus Christ through his suffering in Gesemne and crucifixion on the cross. That way, God is able to be just and be merciful at the same time. Justice because a price for sin was paid. But He is merciful because He provided His Son to atone for the sins of His people.
With Christianity, Jesus is looked at as not only a good teacher, but an example in every way He lived. Throughout His life He taught a higher law that went beyond the law of Moses. Instead of and eye for an eye, He taught to turn the other cheek. He taught love, and forgiveness. He showed His example through baptism and miracles.
He inherited mortality from His mother, but was the son of God and could give His life as He chose. He gave it up willingly. On the third day after He was crucified, He was resurrected. His body and spirit reunited again, never to be separated. His resurrection paved they way for all mankind to be resurrected. Thus overcoming the 1st separation from God. Through forgiveness of sin, we can overcome the 2nd separation from God which makes us pure and clean to enter his presence after death.
