Did Christ’s Death at Calvary Make Everyone Alive Spiritually, or Only Those Who Believe?

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Notice how Paul contradicts this? Welcome to Mid Acts Dispensationalism.

I don't see Paul contradicting Jesus. Like here:
1 Corinthians 7:19 NKJV — Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

$$ Ro 13:8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
$$ Ro 13:9
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
$$ Ro 13:10
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.

So, you are now admitting the contradiction. If you want to show someone looking back on salvation, by grace, you look to Paul. If you look to those who are working for their earthly inheritance, you go to the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" outside of Paul.
