God's Faithful Remnant
Commentators explain that just as God preserved 7,000 faithful people in the dark days of Elijah, He has also preserved a 'remnant' of Jewish believers in Paul's time. This shows that even when a majority falls away, God does not completely abandon His people, offering a powerful message of hope and divine faithfulness.
