Make Every Effort To Live In Peace

"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see The Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God ..." Hebrews 12:14-15 (NIV)

The writer is encouraging the people to renew their spiritual vitality. They are to pursue peace and holiness. They are also to help their fellow man who is unsaved to understand and appreciate the benefits of holiness and God's peace.

While it is not possible for us not to sin, we are to endeavor to live holy. We are to seriously attempt to live in peace with all men. We are to love our neighbor and treat him kindly, even if he does not treat us that way. We should encourage all men to be Christians and live holy. Our lives should be an example to others of Christ-like living
