How do we know God's grace is evident in the story of Judah and Tamar?

Answered in 2 sources

God's grace is shown in how He preserves His covenant promises through Judah's sinful actions and Tamar's boldness.

The story of Judah and Tamar starkly demonstrates God's unrelenting grace amidst human transgression. Despite Judah's considerable wickedness, marked by his deceptive dealings and disregard for God's law, it is apparent that he was chosen by God to fulfill a significant role in the lineage that led to Christ. This grace is further illustrated in Tamar, who, though found in a troubling situation, acts to secure the continuation of the lineage promised by God. The eventual birth of Perez and Zerah signifies that God's plans will not be thwarted by human sin. God uses the actions of both Judah and Tamar, working through their failings to ensure the covenant promise reaches fulfillment, emphasizing that salvation is ultimately by grace alone, as seen throughout Scripture.
