How do we know that Judas' repentance was false?

Answered in 1 source

Judas' repentance was false because it resulted in despair rather than leading him to Christ, as outlined in Matthew 27:3-5.

Judas Iscariot's repentance illustrates a critical distinction between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow. In Matthew 27:3-5, Judas feels regret after seeing the consequences of his betrayal, but this sorrow leads him to despair rather than to repentance that seeks mercy from Christ. He recognizes his sin but does not turn to Jesus, which highlights that true repentance is not simply about feeling remorse but about turning toward God for forgiveness. His actions culminate in suicide, demonstrating that his sorrow was ultimately devoid of hope and reconciliation.
