Bible Question: Hello... I wonder, would you consider Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the lord" to be an estimate of living a "godly" life? |
Bible Answer: Hi Stultis..., We want to know the Lord, so I am hoping that your quote of Hebrews 12:14 is a typo when you speak of seeing the "lord". One of the verses that I compare with Hebrews 12:14 is John 1:18. "No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him." The Jehovah's Witness would interpret the only begotten God, as "the only begotten god". In that interpretation they come short of the grace of God that Hebrews 12:15 speaks of. John 1:17 says that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ and that grace is seen in the only begotten God. So the Jews were wrong when in John 10:36 they said "You are blaspheming". Applying this to ourselves, we should know that this Son of God was the One who was explaining Him. As far as Hebrews 12 is concerned. Who do you regard as the Father of our spirits? Verse 9. Who is this One who disciplines us for our good, that we might share in His holiness and gain the sanctification or holiness with which we will see the Lord? From the heart, Ray |
