ALL FLESH IS AS GRASS

"For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of
grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But
the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which
by the gospel is preached unto you."  1 Peter 1:24

We need to ponder those words.  The glory of the natural man is
like the grass of the field and our mortal bodies will eventually die
--no matter what we eat,  how we exercise, or try to preserve
them.*

If we are wise, we will focus our attention on the word of the Lord
--for even faith comes from hearing the word of God.  (Romans
10:17)  And, the unity of the faith comes when we reject the
traditions of men and adhere to the Word of God who spoke the
words of The Father.  (John 8:28)

Notes:

* Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:

    [As it is appointed] Apokeitai  (grk 606). It is laid before
them by the divine decree: Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt
return. Unto men generally, during the course of the present world,
not all men as some falsely quote; for Enoch and Elijah have not
died, and those that shall be alive at the day of judgment shall not
die, but be changed.
(from Adam Clarke Commentary)
