Mark 10: 15, 21-23, 26-27 (NKJV)
15 (Jesus speaking:) "Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing
you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and
follow Me." (See Mark 8:34)
22 But he (the rich young ruler) was sad at this word, and went away
sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is
for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"
26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then
can be saved?"
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but
not with God; for with God all things are possible."

These are just a verses taken from this chapter, which contrast the
child and the rich coming to Jesus. A child comes to Jesus with nothing!
So must the rich man! Salvation is only by God's grace, not by our
achievement!
Whosoever wishes can come to God, but only on His terms. Only by grace
are we saved!
