Hell or Righteousness

Do Christians share the Gospel of God to help us escape Hell, is it about righteousness, or both? Or more?

Primarily it is about the desire to have and live in righteousness. 

Ultimately, it is to have a restored standing with God; to live as we were designed to.  

Yes there is an aspect of avoiding Hell and Judgment as Scripture says. Note:  even if He didn't save any of us, as our Creator and God we should worship, revear & properly fear him, and obey... regardless. 

Christians know Judgment is coming. This world is going down in flames (like the titanic), the redeemed ones are directing people into the lifeboats (Jesus); just as God directed Noah into the Ark, Christians are directing people into the boat of salvation where righteousness is. Salvation isnt ultimately about escaping Hell, it is about desiring righteousness, having the righteousness of Christ [which also does cover & shelters you from Judgment & punishment of your sins], and desiring to have a real relationship with God. 

Most people want to be a decent person, but are incapable of being who they were designed to be because they are broken [sinners] and are without the righteousness [required to be in God's presence and to have life after death] man had in Eden. We need Jesus to restore us and give us the righteous nature. Without the new nature it is impossible to be right with God, live in righteousness, and live out our purpose, and ever be in his presence after death without being judged and sent to Hell. Our current nature loves sin, but once God causes us to be born again (by The Spirit, thru Jesus, via the Gospel), we will not only be saved, have a restored relationship with God and are now in an eternal fellowship with him, but also we will love righteousness and what God loves. And He is able to do good through us, and help us live rightly all the time in this life on earth. Then spend eternity with Him. Who wouldnt want that.
