Let us fetch the ark . . . of the Lord . . . it may save us.
This is a classic example of man using religion to save himself. It can’t be done. No amount of devout, religious activity will gain an entrance to heaven. Only God could save Israel if they called to Him for help. Trusting in the ark was useless. So for us today. Trusting in church- going, good works, or kindness to your neighbor will NOT get you a place in heaven. Trusting in Jesus as your Savior will.
