How do we know God's grace was evident in Lot's story?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is evident in Lot's rescue from Sodom, despite his weaknesses and failures.

The narrative of Lot in Sodom illustrates God's grace in several ways. Despite Lot's lingering hesitation to leave the city, the angels forcibly brought him out, showing that God's grace is proactive, intervening in our lives to rescue us from sin and judgment. Even though Lot exhibited weak faith by preferring to go to the lesser city of Zoar rather than the mountains, God was patient with him and granted his request (Genesis 19:17-21). This is a clear testament to the nature of God's grace; it is not conditional upon our perfect obedience but is given freely, ensuring the salvation of those He has chosen. Furthermore, Lot remains an example of a believer whose life, riddled with faults, still experienced salvation by grace.
