The Bible teaches that with men, it is impossible to save themselves, but with God, all things are possible (Mark 10:27).
The Bible underscores the impossibility of self-salvation by emphasizing that humans, due to their sinful nature and inability to atone for their sins, cannot achieve salvation through their efforts. In Mark 10:27, Jesus illustrates this point by stating, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.' This highlights that the initiative for salvation ultimately resides with God and not with human actions.
