HeBrEwS!

Hebrews 13 is talking about how we should be disciplined because we are all children of God. Children listen to there parents and God is our Father so we should be respectful and honor him. If we are respectful he honors us. When God displines us for our own good so we can share his holiness and love. Let it build you up no matter the hardships you go through he is just trying to teach you a lesson. Try not to start stuff with people and just make peace with everyone and love everyone because God loves us.
Hebrews 12:1"Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off eveything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perserverance the race marked out for us." We are surrounded by good christians and we cant let ourselves think that just because we are christians and surrounded by christians that we cant fall into sin. Anyone can fall into sin and be pushed to peer pressure. If you know God and his place in your life then you will be more fornuate not to be pushed into the sin. but people will try to pull you with them but you have to be strong in the word and know God.
