The Bible describes man's frailty by stating that all flesh is as grass, highlighting our temporary nature before God.
The Scriptures illustrate the frailty of man vividly in 1 Peter 1:24, which declares that 'all flesh is as grass.' This exemplifies the transient nature of human life and our inherent weakness before the infinite and eternal God. As believers, we recognize that our strengths and efforts are like the 'flower of the grass,' which withers and falls away, underscoring our reliance on God's grace rather than our own merit. This perspective cultivates humility and a deeper appreciation for the sovereignty of God in our lives, reminding us that despite our frailty, we are sustained by His everlasting love and power. Ultimately, it encourages us to lean on Christ, who is our strength in weakness.
