What does Jesus mean by saying the world is condemned already?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus states that the world is condemned already due to the sin of Adam and the rejection of Him as Savior (John 3:17-18).

When Jesus declares that 'the world is condemned already' in John 3:18, He is pointing to the inherent depravity that all humanity possesses due to Adam's original sin. The condemnation is not a new development introduced with Christ's coming but is the state of all people since the fall. Christ came to save sinners, not to condemn them further. It is through His sacrifice that we can be delivered from this pre-existing condemnation. In rejecting Christ, individuals remain in their lost condition, as they fail to accept the remedy for their sin. Therefore, understanding the gravity of our fallen state emphasizes the necessity of Christ's redemptive work.
