How do we know that God's grace is sufficient for great sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is exemplified in Peter's restoration after his denial, demonstrating that no sin is beyond His redeeming power.

The narrative of Peter's denial and subsequent restoration emphasizes that God's grace is indeed sufficient for great sinners. Despite Peter denying Christ three times, the Lord's response was one of mercy rather than condemnation. After His resurrection, Jesus specifically commissioned Peter, affirming his forgiveness and restoration (Mark 16:7, John 21:15-17). This illustrates the heart of sovereign grace: even the gravest offenses are met with divine love and forgiveness. Peter's experience underscores that our failures do not put us beyond the reach of God's grace. Instead, it is in recognizing our weaknesses that we can truly appreciate the magnitude of His redeeming work.
