This “remnant” of believers in Israel was saved because God decreed it. Is it fair to also say that those in this category of Israelites chose to believe? Indeed. But we mustn’t suppose that God’s sovereign will throughout the ages is somehow dependent on man’s will. The simple truth is that God decided before the foundation of the world how all of this would play out, including who, exactly, would be members of said “remnant”.

Soon enough, the Lord will return and the final stages of God’s salvific plan will commence. Come, Lord! Let us fear Him, for that is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10). Let us cast our anxieties on Him, for that is His desire (1 Peter 5:7). Sleep well, my friend, resting in the fact that God is in control.

May we never use “carrots” of earthly prosperity to try and lead people to Jesus Christ, because it fosters bad motivation!
Jesus Christ did NOT go to the Cross and pay the ultimate price so you can have a “better life” (by human standards) on this Earth. He went to the Cross to SAVE you.
