What does the Bible say about the nature of flesh?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that 'all flesh is grass' highlighting the temporary and worthless nature of human flesh.

The phrase 'all flesh is grass' is drawn from Isaiah 40:6-8, emphasizing the frailty and transience of human nature. It illustrates that our flesh, like grass, withers and fades away, revealing that there is no inherent goodness in it. This metaphor underscores the total depravity of humanity; we cannot produce any spiritual goodness on our own. Just as weeds are often considered worthless, our flesh is equally incapable of pleasing God, emphasizing our dependence on Christ for salvation.
