A question to consider. Have you been weighed in the balance and found wanting? Perhaps, a better way of expressing our point would be to reflect or to examine our life. Where are we relative to our final destination? Undoubtedly, we all have an appointment with death which means sooner or later, we will need to respond to this question. It is for this reason that life itself should behove us to examine ourselves, and to determine whether we are in the faith --- the same faith that was personally delivered to mankind by the the Lord Himself.
Certainly, in relation to this same question, man cannot save himself. He cannot do so because he is a victim of a disease called sin. The same sinful nature exists in women. He and/or she can bathe all they want in an attempt to wash away the odour of sin (i.e. decaying flesh) but it is hopeless. At times like this, one might say that a temporary fix would be much appreciated!
However, the meaning of life is much deeper than this. For example, the root of sin is a spiritual condition that manifests a spiritual condition outwardly, usually in some form of physical display. Everything comes forth from a seed. A good seed brings forth good fruit whereas an evil seed brings forth bad fruit.
Fortunately, men and women were made for fellowship with God and no matter how hard they may try, he or she cannot extinguish that need. The need to worship our Creator. As an aside, even Satan, the author of man's downfall demands worship. The good news is that we can rest assured that the God who loves us wants to be our friend. So much so, that He willingly became a man so that He could rescue us from that spiritual condition called sin.
Most of all, remember that you are a wonderful person and that God loves you! Stand in the offering plate.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
