What does the Bible say about the remnant in Israel?

Answered in 2 sources

The remnant refers to a small group of faithful believers in Israel, preserved by God's grace amidst widespread rebellion and sin (Isaiah 1:9).

In Isaiah, the concept of the remnant is depicted as a faithful group within Israel who are preserved by God's grace despite the nation's sin and idolatry. Isaiah 1:9 explains that if the Lord had not left a small remnant, Israel would have been akin to Sodom and Gomorrah, facing total destruction. God, in His sovereign pleasure, ensures that there will always be a remnant—those chosen by grace, justified by Christ's blood. The theme of a remnant is also echoed in Isaiah 10 and Romans 11, where Paul confirms this doctrine and underscores that it is through the election of grace that any are saved.
