For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
For everything of man must be recognized as of no value, for all flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers and the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are like grass. The grass withers and the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever (Isaiah 40:5-7). Every word of God is sure. It is tested and tried in the furnace. Every word is refined as by fire, tested in the fire seven times.
The Gospel is not of this realm, it is of another. The Kingdom is not of this world, but of Heaven. The Word of Faith is not the word of man, but it is Spirit!

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:38 KJV
In the beginning, God created man and placed him in Eden. He was assigned the job of subduing the Earth. After the fall, things changed, and things were changed. God told the man, “By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” (Genesis 3:19).
It was by the sweat of the brow that Adam was told that he would eat his food after the tree of the knowledge of good and evil had been eaten. It would be with thorns and thistles and hardship all the days of his life. And in the end, as God has originally warned him, he would die (Genesis 2:17).
