Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” And Peter said, “See, we have left our homes and followed you.” And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.” (Luke 18:26-30 ESV)
This question has been raised because of Jesus' discussion with the man who asked: "What must I do to be saved?" The disciples have come far in their understanding to ask this question. They are beginning to understand that they cannot do anything; God is the only one Who can. The cost can seem so high if we are focused on what we do, but when we realize and believe that Christ has done it all, and that the only possibility of our salvation and eternal life is through Him, then it is very possible indeed.
