in ‘Who then can be saved?’, Dave continues the Mark series by looking at chapter 10 verses 17-31.

Dave talks about how eternal life cannot be earned or bought — it must be received through wholehearted trust in Jesus, not personal goodness, wealth, or status.

1. Are You Asking the Right Question? The rich young man asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” revealing a flawed mindset — as if eternal life can be achieved through effort or merit. Jesus corrects him, showing that only God is truly good, and eternal life is a gift, not a reward for goodness.

2. What (or Who) Are You Relying On? Though the man claims to have kept the commandments, Jesus exposes his true dependence — on wealth, not God. The call to sell all and follow Jesus highlights the real issue: his heart is tied to material things, not to God. Wealth, talent, family, or even religious performance cannot save — only Jesus can.

3. All Things Are Possible With God Jesus teaches that salvation is impossible by human standards but possible with God. The disciples, though flawed and ordinary, followed Jesus and were transformed. Like them, we are called to surrender completely and trust God, even when it costs us something.

Eternal life is a gift, not a result of good behaviour or religious performance. • Jesus sees and loves us, even when we’re misguided or attached to idols like money, comfort, or self-reliance. • True discipleship costs something, but the reward is infinitely greater — both now and in eternity. • Faith is trusting God, especially when things go wrong, rather than relying on health, wealth, family, or church structures. • God works through imperfect people, not because they are strong, but because they are surrendered.
