How do we know God's preservation of His people is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's preservation of His people is affirmed through historical accounts and God's covenant promises throughout Scripture.
The preservation of God's people is evidenced throughout the biblical narrative, particularly in Isaiah 65. In this passage, God declares His intent to maintain a remnant of Israel despite their rebellion and idolatry. He promises to 'bring forth a seed out of Jacob,' highlighting His faithfulness even in judgment. This concept is prominent in Scripture, where God's covenant with Abraham established the assurance that from Israel would come a holy remnant.
Moreover, this idea is reinforced by the historical reality of Israel's return from exile after their captivity in Babylon. The fulfillment of these promises in events recorded in Ezra and Nehemiah showcases how God’s grace leads to restoration. Ultimately, the true fulfillment of this preservation is found in Christ, the blessed seed, who secures eternal salvation for His people, thus confirming that God's purposes cannot be thwarted.
