John 3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Most of us feel very much judged our entire life, so what did Christ mean here when the truth is religion is full of many judgments?

Well, context is everything within the written word of God, without context we have a law book that judges us. Yes, any form of condemnation is judgment, and all judgment is a court of adversarial contest, where we must prove our innocents.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

But this is not at all what God is telling us here in the book of John; God is saying, to us if we have the whole contexts of the bible that mankind's judgment is upon all of us from birth; what is that judgment? It is death, because of sin being in us. Yes, its that simple, we are dying all of us at some point because we have sin past on too us by the sin of Adam the father of the human race.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

God is not sending us his son to judge us yet more, more then the judgment God put upon Adam for sin past on to us. No! God's son is not going to deal with that judgment, at all. Christ is going to save us from that judgment. Clearly, many of us are confused over this subject, but it not mystery at all.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Rom. 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Christ was born under the law that pointed up the sins in us that causes death for all of us. None, no not one person born in sin could by the law of God (Moses Law) earned by their efforts in trying to keep that law perfect got eternal life by it. The law did not provide us eternal life, it perfect nothing when it came to sin it only exposed it by enhancing it in us, that is, our conscience.

Romans. 7:6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

Romans.7:12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. 7:13 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

Christ died once for all times putting away that law, by his perfect life without sin, completing it for us. What Christ did not do, is judge our flesh some more by his being on earth. He removed our judgment of our flesh by his precious blood so we can be saved by God's loving kindness through the precious life of Christ

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Romans. 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
