The church Bible verses for the year Hebrews 12:14-15 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” The author in Hebrews particularly in chapter 12 is really wanting to encourage believers in their faith. The author is using a sporting theme or a marathon runner to illustrate a spiritual truth to its readers. Misha unpacks Hebrews 12:14-15.
