What did Jesus mean when He said, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God'?

Answered in 1 source

'With men it is impossible, but not with God' means that while humans cannot save themselves, God can do the impossible (Mark 10:27).

In Mark 10:27, Jesus states, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.' This phrase emphasizes the disparity between human limitations and divine omnipotence. It reveals that salvation cannot be secured by human effort or merit; rather, it is God's sovereign will and power that accomplishes the work of salvation. This reassures believers that regardless of their circumstances or perceived hindrances, God has the ability to save, regenerate, and transform lives. It highlights the essence of sovereign grace—the belief that God alone initiates and completes the work of salvation.
