Matthew 19:25

When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?”

Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them,

for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice.
