John 12:31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

Now that God has testified in this world and confirmed that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, God’s judgment upon this world has come. The judgment is that this world hates God because its ruler is a murderer and an imposter. He and this world were judged, exposed, and condemned by Jesus’ presence and God’s word. Jesus prophesied regarding what His suffering would accomplish—the banishment of Satan from the throne of this world. Jesus now reigns as Lord of this world. When we live to love with Him we are testifying to the veracity of Jesus’ statement and the power of His rule in this world.
