How does Peter's confession relate to being chosen?

Answered in 1 source

Peter's confession, acknowledging Jesus as the Christ, is a sign of being chosen, as true faith is enabled by God's grace.

Peter's confession in John 6:69, where he declares Jesus as 'the Christ, the Son of the living God,' illustrates the evidence of divine election. This acknowledgment is not merely intellectual but a heartfelt realization given by the Holy Spirit, confirming that true faith originates from God's calling. As Jesus states, 'Did I not choose you?' He links true belief in Him to the reality of being chosen. Thus, the act of recognizing Christ for who He is and placing our trust in Him reflects the inward work of grace that confirms our identity as the elect of God.
