How does The Pilgrim’s Progress develop the theme of Divine Grace and Mercy?

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan develops Divine Grace and Mercy across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

God's unmerited favor is shown through the help characters receive (e.g., Evangelist, Help, the Interpreter) and the forgiveness offered to repentant sinners, underscoring that salvation is a gift rather than earned by works.

Bunyan commits the book and reader to 'that Hand that pulls the strong down, and makes weak ones stand,' emphasizing divine enablement.
