How do we know God can save by few or by many?

Answered in 1 source

God’s sovereignty in salvation is evident in His ability to save regardless of numbers, as illustrated by the stories of Gideon and Jonathan.

God's ability to save by few or many is a testimony to His sovereignty and omnipotence. As Jonathan remarked to his armor-bearer, 'It may be that the Lord will work for us' (1 Samuel 14:6). This statement encapsulates the essence of faith that trusts in God's power rather than relying on human resources. In Judges, Gideon is instructed to reduce his army from 32,000 to 300, demonstrating that success does not rely on numbers but on God's divine intervention. These biblical examples assure believers that God's plans will prevail, irrespective of human limitations or the prevailing circumstances.
