For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!

Whoever believes in the Son [Jesus Christ] has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Jesus Christ will most certainly return to judge the living and the dead

Acts 1:11

"Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

The Coming of the Jesus Christ here is His visible coming as described in the prophetic books of the Old Testament; it is His coming to establish His Kingdom on earth. We see this in Daniel 7:14 and Revelation 1:7. When He comes in 'like manner as He went up', His saints - that is those saved during the Church age - come with Him (Colossians 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 3:13). The Christian hope is to meet Him in the air; they do not to see Him coming in the clouds of heaven (but rather meet him in the clouds); this is a highly visible act. The coming here 'in like manner' is His coming for Israel and the nations; it is His visible and glorious manifestation.

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: (2 Timothy 4:1)

They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. (1 Peter 4:5)
