How does the story of Moses relate to the concept of grace?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Moses illustrates grace as he was shown the Promised Land but could not enter, pointing to the need for a Savior.

Moses, as depicted in the sermon, represents the law which cannot bring anyone to the promised inheritance. His inability to enter the Promised Land signifies that the law, while good, cannot grant access to God's promises. Instead, it is through grace that we see salvation. Moses' experience encodes a larger message about humanity’s need for grace and the fact that only Christ can lead us into the true rest promised by God. This highlights the necessity of the new covenant where Jesus, the greater Joshua, takes us into the fullness of God's promises, emphasizing the grace of God that undergirds salvation.
