Matthew 26:41(KJV)
The Flesh is Weak
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Acts 4:12
Jesus is Our Savior and Our Only Savior
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
In a Spiritual sense it is very difficult to do things on earth that are continuously Spiritual...We are pulled and tugged by these earthly things, our earthly interests, carnal things, things of the flesh and the flesh is weak...And through this pulling and tugging and continuous ways and works of these earthly things in our life, we wind up in this earthly life, doing earthly things...
Jesus knew this before He came to dwell among us, and He saw how we lived and He tried very hard to teach us some teachings that are not of this earth...Jesus teaches the eternities...So we need His help to reach God...And no one gets to God except through Him...So it is in Jesus we have hope...It is in Him we see beauty, so we can see some of the beauty of earth...It is in Him we find faith...It is Him we see and find love...And it is through Him we are saved...He is our Savior...
So in this Spiritual sense theologian and author Reinhold Niebuhr writes, “Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope...Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith...Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love...
