Hebrews 12 - NLT

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses… Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
Hebrews 12:1 sin life overcoming
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
Hebrews 12:2 faith Savior Jesus

No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
Hebrews 12:11 righteousness peace children
Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.

Bible verse of the day
