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 1:24-25 KJV
Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That’s why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; grass dries up, flowers droop; God’s Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.
1 Peter 1:24-25 MSG

That 'rebirth' is critical to our salvation!
I always confuse that with "For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits."
Yes indeed, my friend. It’s THE great point of the whole process.
It IS very similar, isn’t it? And makes the same initial point, for that matter. 😊
Sound words indeed Reverend. Thank you.
Of course, TB. You’re quite welcome.
Praise God for that truth.
