Luke 18:27 — what is impossible with man is possible with God: salvation requires divine provision, not human effort

Ben Shapiro, a Catholic Bishop and the Gospel. 00:26:06 – 00:26:38

Disciples ask 'who then can be saved?' after the Rich Young Ruler episode

Jesus's response shows that salvation by human goodness is impossible — the point of the impossibility is to drive the listener to realize they need God's provision. This is the purpose of showing how hard it is: so you stop relying on your own goodness and rely on God.
