How do we know God's grace is evident in the Old Testament?
Answered in 1 source
God's grace is evident in the Old Testament through His continuous patience and provision for His people despite their rebellion.
Throughout the Old Testament, we witness God's grace in His dealings with Israel, even as they repeatedly forsake Him. For instance, despite their turning to idols and embracing sin, God continually raised up judges to deliver them. This points to His unchanging nature of mercy and grace. The narratives serve to illustrate humanity's depravity while simultaneously highlighting the need for a Savior—bridging the gap to the New Testament's fulfillment in Christ Jesus. Each act of mercy in the Old Testament foreshadows the ultimate grace to be revealed in the Gospel.
