What does the Bible say about the number of those who will be saved?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible promises that many shall come and sit down in the kingdom of heaven, as stated in Matthew 8:11.

In Matthew 8:11, Jesus assures us that 'many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.' This statement conveys a promise and prophecy about the vastness of God's kingdom and the multitude of those saved. It encourages believers to reflect on their labor in spreading the gospel, reminding them that regardless of visible success, the promise of salvation extends to many, including those unseen and unknown to us. While it may appear that only a few are genuinely following Christ, we must not underestimate God's grace and the true number of His elect from all nations and backgrounds.
