Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
We cannot earn our salvation-It's a gift from God that his Son Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross. A debt we could never pay.
The point is that we do not achieve salvation through our own efforts; it is from God alone, by His grace. "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible," Jesus assures us. We have our part to play and are rewarded for our efforts, as Romans chapter 2 explains, but when God takes us from this world, works with us, blesses us, and brings us into His Family, it is truly a miracle.

That's in Mark 10 and other books of the NT. Here's the context:
vs 25. "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."
26. They were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?"
27. Looking at them, Jesus *said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."
I believe it to mean in this in case that on our own when blinded by riches and worldly material things, we aren't as likely to be concerned about the things of God. It's not that you can't be rich and go to Heaven. It's just that when people have what they want and are content, they often don't seek God.
But God can change our hearts and minds and renew our focus to be on Him.
In general, the lesson is God can do all things.

it's basically saying that what is possible for God is impossible for man. So, though many think it's impossible that the Flood occured or that Jesus was born of a virgin, it's possible for God because He can do all things.

The short version is "with God's help" it is an act of humility, a prayer for intervention and a glorification of God.

For one who cannot comprehend what her or she reads, it has no meaning at all.
Face it, you are lost.
