When Is Salvation Impossible

Part 36
Let’s Talk About Jesus
Mark 10:17-27

Mark 10:26:27
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 

27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, 

but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

The Rich Young Ruler

  1. His Determination 

Mark 10:17
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

  1. His Diplomacy 

Mark 10:17
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

  1. His Desire 

Mark 10:17
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 

  1. His Delusion

Mark 10:18
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? 

there is none good but one, that is, God. 

Mark 10:19-21
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

1 Timothy 1:8
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

1 Timothy 1:9-11
knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Mark 10:20
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 

Mark 10:21a
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him

Mark 10:21b
thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

  1. His Disappointment 

Mark 10:22
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: 

for he had great possessions.

Mark 10:23-27
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 

27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
