Well, naturally, from the Nietzschean perspective it’s salvation from toil and being a slave. To which modern fascists and liberals spit in disgust and say that slaves ought to learn their place.
I think most people that earnestly convert to Christianity probably do so for reasons related to the things I listed; admittedly I don’t know how thoroughly understood the theology about the nature of hell, universalism (hopeful or not), and other finer points are, so I think what you were getting at (that Jesus saves people from a hell of His (well, the Father’s) own creation) might be a contradiction that is commonly believed in.
I don’t think its a contraction for god to punish nonbelievers. Yes a lot of people do follow christianity to avoid hell and get to heaven, among lots of other reasons I’m sure.
