Chosen for Salvation
April 6, 2017
Many today believe that certain people have been chosen by God to be saved, while others are passed by, but only one verse actually links the ideas of choosing and salvation. That’s why it deserves a very careful look.
Every Jot and Tittle

The Lord Jesus thought that the smallest letter of the Word of God—the “jot” or yod—or the smallest stroke of a letter—the “tittle" or tail—was more important than the rest of the whole universe!
