What does the term 'remnant' mean in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The 'remnant' refers to the chosen elect whom God saves, often amidst judgment.

In the context of Isaiah 12 and throughout Scripture, the term 'remnant' signifies the elect group God preserves during times of judgment. Isaiah proclaims that despite impending judgment on Israel, God will save a remnant. This doctrine aligns with the broader theme of sovereign grace, wherein God unconditionally elects some individuals for salvation while others remain under judgment. The faithful testimony of God's mercy toward the remnant reinforces His sovereignty in salvation.
Scripture References: Isaiah 10:20-22, Romans 9:27
