Luke 18:27 Deep Dive // Why Salvation Is Impossible Without God

Why is salvation impossible for us? And what has Jesus done to make it possible?"Jesus Replied, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God.'” — Luke 18:27Today's Episode: Natalie Abbott takes a deep dive into Luke 18 and helps us understand one of Jesus’s most hope-filled—and often misunderstood—statements.We often use this verse when life feels difficult or overwhelming. But in its original context, Jesus is talking about something even bigger: salvation. We cannot make ourselves right with God. We cannot earn his favor or fix our own souls.Natalie walks us through the stories surrounding Luke 18:27, including the Pharisee and the tax collector, the rich ruler, and Zacchaeus. You’ll be reminded that salvation is not something we achieve through good behavior, hard work, or religious effort. It is the impossible gift God has made possible through Jesus.This Month's Memory Verse:"Jesus replied, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God.''📖 Luke 18:27Memorize Scripture with Us:Discover the easy button for Scripture memory through Dwell Differently's resources.Resources from Today's Episode:Use code TREASURE to get 30% off your copy of "Storing Up Treasures" at thegoodbook.com today.Support the showKEEP UP WITH ALL THE THINGSWebsite: DwellDifferently.comSocials: @dwelldifferently | @nataliejoyabbott | @verabethschmitzNewsletter — get devotional content along with new projects!Facebook Group — join the conversation about God’s Word!
