What does the Bible teach about the remnant of Israel?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that though Israel as a nation rejected Christ, a remnant is chosen by grace.

In Romans 11, Paul emphasizes that despite the widespread rejection of Jesus by the Jewish people, there remains a remnant who are elected by grace. This idea reinforces the concept that God's promises are fulfilled through His sovereign choice rather than national identity. The apostle asserts that 'the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded,' underscoring the grace extended to this remnant, which reflects God's faithfulness to His covenants. This highlights the notion that not all who are physically descended from Israel are spiritual heirs, but rather, those chosen by God are the true Israel.
