In this Bible study podcast episode, Andy Davis goes line by line through Hebrews 12:5-13. The author encourages the Hebrew Christians concerning the discipline they have to undergo in their Christian lives, teaching them that it is part of being a true child of God, it is wisely apportioned out, it is painful not pleasant, it takes a long time to take effect, and it has the ultimate purpose of holiness. The end result is that we should submit to it gladly, neither taking it lightly nor getting crushed with discouragement. We should strengthen ourselves for the journey of holiness, walking the way God has laid out.
