What does the Bible say about the remnant of Israel?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible highlights that God has always preserved a remnant of His people, as seen in Romans 11:4 where God reserves 7,000 men who have not bowed to Baal.

In Romans 11:4, the Apostle Paul refers to Elijah's experience where God assured him that He has reserved for Himself 7,000 men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. This remnant represents God's faithfulness to maintain a people for Himself even in times of tribulation and rebellion. The concept of the remnant runs throughout Scripture, emphasizing that not all who are of Israel are truly Israel (Romans 9:6). God's choice of a remnant is integral to biblical theology, particularly in demonstrating His sovereignty and grace in saving sinners throughout redemptive history. This remnant is not based on ethnic descent, but on God's electing grace.
