Today’s reading is Hebrew 12
“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:14-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because the writer of Hebrews says, “and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Will we not see the Lord if we are not Holy?? Yes!! However, the “Good news” is that Christ died to make us Holy. It’s impossible to make ourselves Holy and it’s only possible to be Holy through accepting Christ as the ruler of our life. Can we still be in control and expect Christ to make us Holy? Is it possible to be Holy through any other route? Christ died to enable us a route through Him. He doesn’t force it though. Please pray that we and our friends realize the opportunity we have in Christ Jesus. Please pray for Archie and Hollis as their group is formed.
