Jesus stated, 'For judgment I am come into this world,' highlighting His purpose to distinguish between the spiritually blind and those He redeems.
In John 9:39, Jesus explicitly states, 'For judgment I am come into this world,' which underscores His mission to make a decisive distinction among humanity. Through His coming, Christ brings light to those who are spiritually blind, facilitating a profound transformation in the hearts of the elect. This judgment is not merely punitive but serves the purpose of revealing the nature of true faith and the plentiful grace afforded to those chosen by God. The stark contrast He creates between the elect and the rest serves to display the sovereign grace and mercy that God extends to His people, reaffirming the doctrine of election.
