Hebrews 12 is a call to submit to God's discipline and to listen and obey God. Paul says, "strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress". We only win the struggle against sin if we keep our eyes on Jesus, not ourselves or our circumstances. Paul says "don't become weary and give up", but "cheerfully submit to the discipline of our heavenly Father". God's discipline is always right and good for us. Next, Paul urges us to live in peace with everyone and to seek to live a holy life. We are also urged to look after each other and watch out that "no bitter root of unbelief rises up" among us. Finally, Paul says to make sure nobody is immoral or godless, and we must see to it that we obey God and seek to "please Him by worshipping Him with holy fear and awe".
