The Word tells us that God always 'reserves' a REMNANT, unto Himself, in the OT and NT it is declared as Truth, Now Paul expounds on it even more telling us that its a Remnant , according to the Election of Grace these He calls out of Darkness and Reserves them for Himself, a Holy People, a Perculiar People, unto Himself. Had God not 'reserved' these clay vessels, people unto Himself, all would be made like unto Sodom and Gomorrah. .mmmmmmmm TODAY, this climate on this planet, much like the Days of LOT, oh Indeed, and the Days of Noah, God Today has a Remnant, He has reserved unto Himself, according to the ELECTION OF GRACE... this Grace.. not religious works, done to puff oneself up and deem oneself rigthteous in the eyes of the LORD, noooooo, chosen in Him, the Election, God choosing His Own, not based on mans merits or abilities but Grounded in His Son's Work at the Bloody Tree, His Appeasement as Decreed before the Foundation of the World.. A remnant According the Election of Grace.. not man's choosing or his religious sowing ferver.. but According to the predeterminate Counel and Will of the Father...

*
Even so then at this present time also there is a Remnant according to the Election of Grace.

Those who are Genuinely Born from Above of Him, Regenerated according to his Predeterminate counsel to be conformed to the Image of His Son, didnt' Obtain that 'salvation'. on their own power, it was By Grace, and the Election obtained it For them, the Election of God as Decreed by the Father, as He gives the souls to Christ for salvation.. Some would argue, God can't do that. thats unfair..!!!!! God is not Unfair, but Just and Holy and Righteous, He does what He wants and He will fulfill what HE has Decreed from before Time and Dirt were created! You will have theologians, tares-weeds, fight this till they are blue in the face, but the Fact is the Merits and Conditions of Salvation are Grounded In God Himself! and His Son's complete Appeasement at the tree, this which was decreed before dirt and time were created, but Carried out and manifested in these last days for you! Some would like to say, Well God He has ELECTED everybody! everybody is Elected!.. thats a false teaching, when a state or country Elects a top official, do all the citizens of that state or country throw their name on the Ballot? noooo. you would have utter chaos, they choose their top canidates, the Same With the Father, He has chosen those In Him. before dirt and time were created.. even before they were born to evil or good.. He knew them and chose them.. God's Election is based on His choosing... not man choosing God... if everybody that ever lived was 'chosen for Election'.. what is the POINT of an Election then? you see the confusion and chaos brought upon God's Sovereign Choosing by man who seeks to pull God to his/her lever and tell Him How He is suppose to Act.. the Election of Grace... this Available for both Jews and Gentiles, those He will Call.. not based on their merits or qualifications.. but on His Sovereign choosing, His Love and the Riches of His mercy.. making these Elect of God, His Righteousness! Indeed!

Luther was wrong in a few places.
Remnant pertains to believing Jews...a group Luther wasn't that fond of.

My point is: Luther didn't intend for so many conflicting sects contradicting one another to happen.

I really think John 3:16 needs to be correctly revised, so we can let the trash that is going to burn {people} know they are not truly loved and were created simply as fuel for the fire. Let's start preaching THAT message.
No? No takers? Nobody wants to start preaching how the damned were created and prepared for wrath?

I agree it would be awful if God created people in order to love them and not burn them in a lake of fire eternally.

Romans 5:15-17
15But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

Acts 15:6-18
6The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. 7And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 9and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. 10Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”
12And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. 14Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. 15And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
16“‘After this I will return,
and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen;
I will rebuild its ruins,
and I will restore it,
17that the remnant[SUP]b[/SUP] of mankind may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,
says the Lord, who makes these things
18known from of old.’

Ephesians 1:11-14
11In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is the guarantee[SUP]d[/SUP] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,[SUP]e[/SUP] to the praise of his glory.

Gehenna fire is real. And yes both the old young great small will be there. Man today pulls God down to his Level tells God He can't do that or that isn't FAIR. Lolz. God has not changed. Nor His Character. Holy Just Gracious Merciful Compassionate Loving .. One would not be loving if One did not warn of the consequences of rebellion against God. Unloving would be to teach God would not Judge the rebellious. Without punishment.

They just want to hear what tickles their ears. Man has his own image of Christ is about. One sided Character. Without Righteous indignation towards those who are children of wrath. God hasn't changed. The tares when they realize that , it will be too late . indeed

The remnant Paul speaks of are those Jews in Acts 2 that of their own freewill chose to obey the gospel message of Peter per verse 38. According to the election of grace-- those Jews became God's remnant according to God's gracious design. God never designed grace to be received randomly, unconditionally but is received based conditionally upon man's obedience to God's will, as those few Jews obeyed God's will.
