What does it mean to be a remnant in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

In the Bible, a remnant refers to a faithful group of people preserved by God amidst judgment or apostasy.

The term 'remnant' signifies a select group of individuals whom God preserves for Himself, even during times of widespread unfaithfulness or judgment. In Acts 15:14, this remnant is specifically referred to as those whom God has called from the Gentiles for His name. The idea of being a remnant speaks to God's sovereign grace in choosing and sustaining a people who remain true to Him, reflecting His holiness and character in a fallen world. This concept is prevalent throughout Scripture, from the accounts of Noah's family surviving the flood to the remnant Israelites returning from Babylonian exile. It emphasizes God's faithfulness to His covenant and His ability to bring forth hope and restoration even from ruins.
