There’s an old camp song called “Old Time Religion” that ends by saying “give me that Old Time Religion, it’ll take us all to heaven.” While the message of this song is not necessarily bad, it is missing a key aspect: Jesus. Without the truth that Jesus died for our sins and was raised back to life, our faith means nothing. If this was not true, we would still be dead in our sins. However, we have hope and faith knowing that Jesus did die on our behalf and was raised to life again. So, even though we will all fall short of God’s glory and live in sin on earth, we can rest in the fact that we will be raised with Christ when He finally calls us home.
