What do proponents of "Free Grace" theology believe about the salvation of Judas?
Upvote:1
I have never heard anyone argue for the salvation of Judas before, but I believe that grace is free, and that justification is by grace alone, in Christ alone, by faith alone, according to the Scriptures alone...
The Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born (Matthew 26:24)
'But there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and would betray him (John 6:64).
I take from these verses that Judas was not justified by returning the silver, nor was he condemned expressly for taking it in the first place. It was his lack of belief in Jesus as Messiah that led him to betrayal. His betrayal merely revealed his lack of belief, and for that he is condemned:
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:18)
