Grace reigning begins with Sovereign unconditional election of Grace Rom 11:5-6back at you
this is a condition
Romans 11:4 (NIV) — 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand 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 is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Yeah I read it, God gave the reason why they had not bowed the knee, Because they were of the election of Grace that He reserved for Himself
reserved for my self kataleipō:
to cause to be left over, to reserve, to leave remaining
Thats the remnant He chose for Himself according to the election of grace. If He would not have acted for Himself, they too would bowed the Knee to ball. But He kept them back, He was active for Himself.
This just reinforces my point DUH
