Remnant by grace (Romans 11:1-12)
First, it is said that God did not forsake Israel.
There is a second remnant.
In the Bible, there is the thought of a remnant, and there is a symbol of hope that has not been extinguished and has been passed down along with the history of Israel from the Old Testament times. Even at the time of Noah's Flood, the remaining eight family members were saved. Even at the time of the destruction of Sodom and Goroma, Lot and his remnant were saved. In Isaiah 6:13, “As a chestnut tree is cut down, but its stump remains, so the holy seed is the stump of the land.” The remnant idea teaches an important truth. Judging from history, neither nation nor all will be saved, and no church will ever be saved. Salvation is received personally by a remnant chosen by the grace of God.
It is said that he was chosen by grace and became a remnant.
Grace is freely given by God. There are worldly grace and spiritual grace. Among them, the greatest grace is for God to make me understand Jesus Christ and believe in Him. Because of this grace, we saw the cross of Jesus who died for our sins, our ears were opened to hear the message of Jesus' glorious resurrection, and the door of our heart was opened to confess that Jesus Christ is our Savior. However, God not only does not give this grace to some people, but also blocks their ears and eyes so that they cannot receive this grace. God grants grace to some people, giving them faith and opening their ears to hear, but to others he does not give them faith by giving them hardness and hardening. Those who are determined to be saved by God will believe even if their original nature is evil, and those who are determined to destroy them cannot believe that they are even less evil.
