When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?  But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  Matthew 19:25-26

What shall I do to inherit eternal life? This was the question by the Rich Young Man, a great question that all of us should ask, however the response he received from The Lord was not what he was hoping for! This young man had everything the world could offer, he had youth, he had money, he had power, but the one thing he was lacking was Christ!

And the only way this man could come to Christ, was to deny himself and carry his cross, which he wasn’t willing to do! You see this man loved the ways of this world more than he loved God. Yes he loved the idea of eternal life but had no interest in the eternal Son of God, the majority of the world has the heart of this man, carnally minded and no actual love for God

So the disciples posed the question then, “Who then can be saved”? Who can save us from this body of death, o wretched men that we are? (Romans 7:24) The bad news is you can’t , you are dead in your trespasses and sins, (Ephesians 2:1)  you are an enemy to God (Romans 5:8) The Lord himself said “With Men This Is Impossible”

Many people have tried to save themselves, many people have tried to make themselves righteous, many people have tried to come up with a religion or formula that would satisfy the wrath of God, but it all fails because “Nobody is good except God alone” (Mark 10:18) The legalist doesn’t want to hear this! The deceived declares they are self righteous and a “good person” But the only good in us is Christ alone!

But there is good news, as Christ said “With God all things are possible” In Christ you can be saved, In Christ you can be made righteous, In Christ you can be Born Again (John 3:3) into a new Creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) Your only hope is in the blood of The Lamb Jesus Christ, who can wash away all your sins (John 1:29)

In You, there is no possibility of salvation, the only path is eternal damnation in Hell Fire, but In Christ you can be saved! With God all things are possible, Christ has made the way, run to the cross, get on your knees and cry out to The Lord today! Today is the day of salvation(2 Corinthians 6:2)  in Jesus Christ, Amen!
