How do we know God's grace is available even after judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Despite the judgment that God pronounces through Amos, He also extends mercy and the promise of grace to a remnant of His people.

In Amos, while God declares impending judgment on Israel for their unfaithfulness and sins, He does not abandon them entirely. God's character includes not just judgment but also mercy. For instance, Amos 5:15 encourages the people to 'seek good, not evil, that you may live.' This call to repentance reflects God's desire for His people to turn back to Him. Additionally, the promise of a remnant being saved illustrates God's grace; even in judgment, there is hope. God's assurance that He will judge but also preserve a part of His people emphasizes the balance between justice and grace that defines His relationship with Israel, which translates to the New Testament context of the gospel as well.
