In the New Testament, it is used to describe a faithful group preserved by God amidst widespread unbelief or apostasy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the Bible, the concept of a remnant is significant in both the Old and New Testaments. Historically, the remnant refers to those who remain faithful to God despite the majority turning away. This idea is rooted in the experiences of Israel, where a faithful remnant often survived periods of judgment and exile. Theologically, the remnant represents God's ongoing commitment to His covenant promises, ensuring that His purposes are fulfilled through a faithful few.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3007.htm">leipó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a remnant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>remnant (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3005: λεῖμμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λεῖμμα</span></span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">λίμμα</span>, see their Appendix, p. 154 and cf.
