For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him - John 3:17.
God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Jesus came to the earth to save us from sins, to seek and save the lost, to bring light to the dark world, to do the will of the Father, to call the sinners to repentance and to destroy the works of the devil, to give us an abundant life and everlasting life.

To seek and save the lost
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost - Luke 19:10.
To destroy the works of the devil
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work - 1 John 3:8.
To bring light to the dark world
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness - John 12:46.
To serve and to give His life as a ransom for many
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many - Mark 10:45.
To do the will of the Father
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me - John 6:38.

Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” - Luke 5:31,32.
To testify to the truth
“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me - John 18:37.
To give us an abundant life
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly - John 10:10.
To give us an everlasting life
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 - John 3:16.
