Spiritism teaches that Without Charity, There is No Salvation, making it necessary, as Barbosa states "for man to have faith and for his actions to be in agreement with the Laws of God, of Fraternity, Benevolence, Altruism, Humility, Work, Tolerance, and Solidarity, in harmony with others who are similar, and even with the inferior beings of creation." 

Becoming more charitable, acting consistently out of a love that does not discriminate, will SAVE us from our suffering by helping us to stop causing more suffering and to fill our hearts with the happiness that comes from love that is given and received. 

The "greatest model of charity and moral perfection that we have to follow" is Jesus, as the Spirits told Kardec in the "Spirits' Book", question # 625. Studying his lessons and following his examples are the best way to develop the charitable qualities of our spirit.  

It is for this reason that Spiritism teaches that we find our salvation in Jesus, for he came to teach us about the law of love and to leave us with an example that will never fail us. People who are not very familiar with Spiritism but who know that it is referred to as a Christian philosophy often ask what the doctrine says about Jesus' death on the cross.   Spiritism does not tell us that Jesus died on the cross to save us (in other words forgiving our sins through his death),  but rather that he came here to save us…. in spite of it. He knew of his fate beforehand, but out of his love for us,  he came, as Kardec said, "to teach humanity that true life is not the one lived here on Earth but in the Kingdom of heaven, to show us the pathway to this Kingdom, and to teach us that the way to reconcile ourselves with God is by experiencing the events of our lives with an awareness of our purpose as human beings."

There are many Spiritist books that bring us an evolved understanding of Jesus' examples and teachings, which he gave to the people of that time in analogies and parables.  The greatest of all Spiritist resources for studying Jesus moral teachings regarding God's Divine Laws, freedom from suffering, and reaching the Divine Kingdom is "The Gospel Explained by the Spiritist Doctrine"  (former title translation= The Gospel According to Spiritism), one of the 5 books of the codification of the Spiritist Doctrine, in which Kardec and the Superior Sprits that collaborated in it's writing explain various passages from Bible.  

The Spiritist Doctrine not only helps us to understand Jesus' lessons, but it also shows us that by force of Divine Law, we all will achieve a complete state of evolution and pure happiness. It is in this sense that the author Palhano Jr. writes that Spiritism "does not assume the responsibility for the salvation of anyone, since it does not proclaim any eternal damnation to begin with. To the contrary, it says that everyone evolves, the good and the bad, some more slowly than others, depending on the efforts of each. It presents the resource of the Law of Reincarnation to justify the divine justice and mercy in light of the imperfections of men. Salvation, in the Spiritist view, is the illumination of man's heart, such that he may leave the state of spiritual infancy and progress towards God."
