Why is God's grace important for understanding the difference between Judas and Peter?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is vital as it underscores the distinction between the elect and the reprobate, such as Judas and Peter.

The difference between Judas and Peter can be attributed to God's sovereign grace, which is highlighted throughout the sermon. While both had similar exposure to Christ and His teachings, the key difference lay in divine election: God chose some, like Peter, and passed over others, like Judas. Therefore, God's grace is the crucial factor in salvation, as Paul points out in Ephesians 1:4-5, where it is stated that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. Peter was granted not only chosen status but also faith and repentance, whereas Judas remained unrepentant and ultimately lost. This grace makes the world of difference in bringing one to true faith.
