Pursue Peace
Hebrews 12:14 NKJV
[14] Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
Pursue peace with all men. Strive to live in peace with everyone. The New Living Translation puts it this way, “Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14 NLT. Choose to live at peace with all men.
According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Pursue” is, ‘diōkō’ (G1377) which means, “To run after, put to flight, drive away, to run swiftly in order to catch a person or thing, to press on, to pursue (in a hostile manner).”
Pursue peace with everyone. Pursue the righteousness of Christ. Strive after peace. “Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14 AMPC.
Choose to reflect the love of Christ in every season. Choose to reflect the love of Christ in all things. Choose to reflect the love of Christ in all of your relationships. Whether you are working with colleagues or surrounded by family members, choose to pursue peace with all men.
The Message Bible puts it this way, “Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you’ll never get so much as a glimpse of God.” Hebrews 12:14 MSG. Peace is intentional—work at getting along with all men.
For Hebrews 12:14 NIV declares, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” Make peace your priority.
