Hebrews 12

With so many examples set for us, we also should live in a way that demonstrates our faith in Jesus as superior to all others. He endured far more than any other will or can endure, and as God's children some discipline is expected as it eventually yields the rewards of a great inheritance. Those who follow Jesus with their lives must do so carefully, to experience life the way God intends it to be experienced. This is accomplished out of a reverent heart attitude; God removes all other baser motivations and purifies them with His holiness.
