For judgment I am come

"And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." (John 9:39)

Jesus’s judgement was not an order of condemnation (See John 3:17 & John 12:44-50), but rather to awaken the saint to sin.

The judgment was the righteousness of Jesus alongside the sin of man and man’s resulting awareness of the difference between the two. Jesus was the light of day that shone on the darkness of sin. Man needed Jesus to be able to see. Once sight was restored to man, sin and salvation became a choice. 

The saints chose salvation. The reprobate chose sin.
