How does the story of Israel illustrate salvation by grace?

Answered in 1 source

Israel's journey reflects that salvation is solely through God's grace and not by human merit.

Israel's exodus from Egypt illustrates the unmerited favor of God as they did not escape based on their worthiness or abilities but solely due to God's promise and mercy. Exodus 16 recounts how God provided manna for His people, exemplifying the notion that deliverance and sustenance come from Him alone. This parallels the sovereign grace theology that emphasizes salvation not through works, but through God's divine grace that invites us to trust in Christ for our redemption. Believers today can take comfort knowing that just as God delivered Israel, He graciously saves His elect.
