"Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:18)

Since God’s word is complete, full understanding remains elusive until every jot and tittle is accounted for.

  • Humility means listening to others' observations and testing all things by Scripture.
  • Arrogance manifests in rigid dogmatism, using out-of-context proof texts without engaging in honest discussion.
  • Deciding a matter before hearing all perspectives is shameful behavior.

Consequence of ignoring this rule: Scripture is twisted to fit personal agendas.

"He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him." (Proverbs 18:13)
