Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
So right now, just like back then, there's still a group of people that God has chosen through his grace, not because they earned it, but because he wanted them.
God always keeps his people close, even when it doesn't look like it.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to address the complex relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the early church, emphasizing that God's promises to Israel had not failed despite widespread unbelief. He drew from Old Testament passages, like those in Isaiah, which described a "remnant" of faithful people preserved by God's choice, to show that even in his time, a group of Jews was being saved through grace rather than works. This context reassured believers that God's sovereign plan continued unbroken.
