What does the Bible say about the remnant according to grace?

Throughout Scripture, we see the theme of a remnant exemplifying God's sovereign grace. Romans 11:5 states, 'Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.' This remnant is chosen by God for salvation despite the overwhelming presence of sin and rebellion within the broader community. We also see illustrations of this in the Old Testament, such as Ruth and Samuel, who were called out from the world around them. By His grace, God maintains a faithful people who remain true to Him amidst widespread infidelity.
