Romans 11:5
Even so . . . there is a remnant. As in the times of Ahab, there
is "a remnant", a portion of Israel left, which is faithful.
According to the election of grace. Godet says:
``The ideas contained in these words is this: In virtue of the
election of Israel as the salvation people, God has not left
them in our days without a faithful remnant any more than he
did the in the kingdom of the Ten Tribes at the period when a
far grosser heathenism prevailed.'
The idea is that Israel was the elected (chosen people), and out of it
God had always preserved a remnant by his grace. The election of
individuals is not referred to, but the election of a remnant to
represent the race.
