And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." They were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?" Looking at them, Jesus *said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." (Mark 10:17-27 NASB)
"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NASB)
- Jesus said only the righteous can have eternal life. (Mark 10:17-19)

- Only God can save the sinner by justifying the sinner. (Romans 8:33, Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, Romans 4:22)
- He did so by providing His Son Jesus as the propitiation for our sins and the sins of the whole world. (Isaiah 53:5, Romans 5:6, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 1:4, Hebrews 2:17, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2)
