Grace Magnifies Sin
Commentators stress that God isn't just reciting history. He recounts His foundational acts of salvation—the Exodus and wilderness journey—to highlight the extreme ingratitude of Israel's current rebellion. As John Calvin and Matthew Henry note, remembering God's past mercies adds to the evil of present sins. This serves as a powerful reminder for believers to consider God's past faithfulness as a motivation for present holiness.
