How do we know grace is evident in the law at Sinai?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is evident in the promise God made to Israel at Sinai, despite their shortcomings.

The giving of the law at Sinai begins with a declaration of God's grace. In Exodus 19:4, God reminds Israel of the grace He had shown them in their deliverance from Egypt. This initial promise highlights that the law does not solely focus on obedience and conditions that must be met by the Israelites, but rather points to God’s unmerited favor upon His chosen people. The phrase 'if you will obey' indicates that while there is an expectation, it is ultimately God's grace that fulfills the requirements for His people through the coming Messiah, as seen in the promises made in the New Testament.
