Why is it said that no flesh can glory in God's presence?

Answered in 1 source

No flesh can glory in God's presence because salvation is entirely of God and not a result of human merit.

The phrase that 'no flesh can glory in His presence' underscores the biblical teaching that all human effort and merit fall short of God's glory. In 1 Corinthians 1:29, it is articulated that God's choice of the weak and foolish confounds human wisdom, ensuring that no one can boast about their accomplishments or standing before Him. This truth emphasizes the sovereignty of God in salvation—He has chosen to save and justify sinners through Christ, which leaves no room for human pride or self-righteousness. The Gospel's message is one of grace, where all glory belongs to God alone, reflecting the core of Reformed theology.
