What does the Bible say about man's weakness?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that man is weak as a creature and a sinner, dependent on God's mercy and grace.

In Psalm 8:4, the question 'What is man that thou art mindful of him?' highlights human frailty and dependence on God. Man is depicted as a creature formed from dust, whose life is fleeting, as seen in Psalms and Job, which emphasizes our mortality and weakness. The Scriptures reveal that man not only struggles with his creatureliness but also with his sinfulness, having fallen short of God's glory. As sinners, we are in a state of rebellion against God, revealing our profound spiritual impotence and need for divine grace for salvation and sustenance.
