4But how does God answer him? |I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.|


In Context

1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

3 |Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.|

4 But how does God answer him? |I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.|

5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
