Faustus is at first happy to use the power Mephistopheles gives him, not just for his own enjoyment, but to cause pain and irritation to others. But his bargain with Mephistopheles was that after a certain time he would go to Hell. As the time approaches, he tries to weasel out of it by legalistic arguments, finding that the Devil's legalistic arguments are better than his. Ultimately he is damned, not because he agreed to it, and certainly not because he talked to Helen of Troy, but because he embraced despair and refused to ask God for forgiveness, believing that God would not forgive him. It is here that the message of the story comes through: don't despair of God's ability to save even the worst sinners. In most versions of the story, this is shown by having Faustus ask for and be granted mercy; in his play Marlowe turns this on its head and shows the result of despair, not hope.

Marlowe based his play on 'The Historie of the Damnable Life, and Deserved Death of Dr John Faustus', which was a translated retelling of a German legend.
