"Save" in the Bible: John 3:17
Despite the persistence of humans in sinning against God, He didn't send his son to judge us. Jesus came to the world to save us from our sins, in defiance of all human reason.

ps 25:8
ro 5:8
Condemn. This means judgment, and this will happen, but the point it that Christ’s main mission is to save. He does not want to condemn nor does he delight with our bad choices; He hates sin and death, but because of our hardened pride, we will condemn our selves and bring judgment upon our selves. Only Christ can save. This also means that Jesus is not ready to judge at the time of this Gospel and this study’s writing; His Second coming and Judgment day has not occurred (Ezek. 18:23-32; John 9:39; Rom. 1:18-32; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9).
· Save the world. This refers to those who are not Jews. This also means those who do not follow God’s will. You can be a Jew and hate God. Being one of God’s chosen does not guarantee salvation; one has to love and trust in God and live by faith, regardless of birthright or pedigree or education or experience or anything else.
· Does not believe. Meaning one resists God’s love and offer of salvation and grace. The stubborn will and rebellion of a person is his/her own worst enemy; unbelief is the only basis for judgment and condemnation (John 1:18-32).
