Strive To Be Holy

"Strive for peace with all, and strive to be holy, for without holiness, no one will see the LORD.
See that no one falls from the grace of GOD, lest a bitter plant spring up and its poison corrupt many among you.  Let no one be immoral or irreligious, like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.  You know, that later, when he wished to get the blessing, he was rejected, although he pleaded with tears." - Hebrews 12:14-17 

(After this long invitation to live by faith, the author intends to deal with more practical matters.  In fact, he immediately returns to the exceptional gift that is faith in CHRIST.  He reminds his readers of what they experienced in baptism when they received the gifts of the Spirit.)
