SCRIPTURE

"Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:" — Hebrews 12:14 (ASV)

Follow peace with all men,

You will not always get it, but follow it – run after it.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. One's god is like oneself, and until we become like God we cannot see God; we misunderstand God until we have been trained to imitate him.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

The holy God can only be seen by holy eyes. He must make us like himself before we can see him.
