Hebrews 12 emphasizes that God's discipline, while painful at times, is ultimately meant to cultivate righteousness and reflect His love in our lives.

The Holy Spirit of God living in us guarantees that we will be resourced and protected.

“Jesus said that when a disciple is fully trained he will be like his teacher. I don’t know about you but I am not fully there yet. I know a lot of Scripture. But if our ultimate guide and teacher is Jesus, then I have a long way to go.”

Are we willing to let our desires, our passions, our definitions of what is right truly die? According to Jesus, that is the path to both eternal life and receiving honor from our Heavenly Father.
