How does Christ's judgment relate to the elect and the reprobate?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's judgment distinguishes between the elect, who receive sight, and the reprobate, who remain blind.

In John 9:39, Jesus illustrates a two-fold judgment that delineates between the elect and the reprobate. The elect, who recognize their unworthiness and cannot see any reason why God would save them, are given spiritual sight. In contrast, the reprobate, who believe they have reasons for their salvation and maintain self-righteousness, are rendered blind. This judgment serves as a powerful proclamation of God's sovereign authority and grace, as it is He who decides who receives His mercy.
