The popular meaning which today has been given to the words “With God all things are possible”, do not belong to these words at all! The true meaning and the background of these words can be found in Scripture (Mark 10:26, 27). It happened that Jesus was talking of the high demands of the Kingdom of God on any man who wishes to tread the path leading upwards to Heaven. The disciples on learning of the Lord’s strict demands were amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” We are then told that Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible”.
Therefore, in the context in which they were used in the passage under reference, the words mean that the way of salvation though difficult for man, is possible to tread with the help of the Most High provided of course that the man has first decided firmly to follow the Holy Word of Truth!
