Romans 9:24-29

24including us, whom He also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?

25Just as He says in [the writings of the prophet] Hosea: “I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’ And [I will call] her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’ ”

26“And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living God.”

27And Isaiah calls out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand of the sea, it is only the remnant [a small believing minority] that will be saved [from God’s judgment];

28For the Lord will execute His word upon the earth [He will conclude His dealings with mankind] completely and without delay.”

29It is as Isaiah foretold, “If the Lord of Hosts had not left us seed [future generations from which a believing remnant of Israelites came], We would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah [totally rejected and destroyed]!”
