Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Hebrews 12:14 | NIV | Other Versions | Context

Brief

In Hebrews 12 the author starts off by encouraging his readers that faith is a race that we must run on [Heb 12:1], after which he emphasizes the importance of discipline and rationalises God is holy, so God’s people must be holy in motive and in method. If we connect verse 14 to the first few verses of the chapter, we can perhaps conclude that the author is hinting that there is a pursuit of peace and holiness required of each and everyone of us.

In this study, we will explore the idea of peace and holiness being attributes that we need to pursue.
