How do we know that God dealt with Israel in grace before Sinai?

Answered in 1 source

Grace was present in God's dealings with Israel before Sinai, as exemplified by His deliverance from Egypt and sustenance in the wilderness.

Before Israel reached Sinai, God's interactions were grounded in grace rather than law. As seen in Exodus 15:25-26, even prior to the law's giving at Sinai, God provided for Israel and showcased His mercy. The deliverance from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of manna were all acts of divine grace demonstrating His faithfulness to the covenant made with Abraham. These occurrences make it clear that Israel was already under God's grace, allowing them to experience His mercy and kindness before the formal establishment of the law, indicating a continuous relationship based on grace.
