Judgment Is a Present Reality
Commentators stress that the judgment for unbelief is not just a future event but a present reality. The Greek tense for "hath been judged already" indicates a verdict that has been passed and remains in effect. Scholars explain that by rejecting Christ, the only path to salvation, a person confirms their existing state of condemnation before God.
