(Rom 11:1) “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid… (2) God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew…..(4) …I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. (5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” What is meant by the term, “election of grace”? “Election” means selection and “grace” means favor bestowed but not deserved. So, it means the Lord chooses to save those Jewish sinners through the blood of His Son, keeping His promise to Abraham.
