Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and Live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, THAT WE MIGHT BE PARTAKERS OF HIS HOLINESS. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of Righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.  Follow peace with all men, AND HOLINESS, WITHOUT WHICH NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD: Hebrews 12:9-11, 14. We have CHASTENING, otherwise called correction, RIGHTEOUSNESS, Morally upright; without guilt or sin, and HOLY, set apart, not for common use. The Lord is cleaning up any trash and filth still trying to hang on to His People. He is literally CLEANING HOUSE, from top to bottom and inside out. He will  be separating the sheep from the goats AND separating the sheep from their sins. Even down to that one though little sin doing its best to hang on in spite of your best prayers. ALL sin  has got to go. What are most churches preaching today? (If they even try to preach anything). That God is a God of love who doesn't hurt his people. Remember this verse, "Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous"? And how does that feel? If a church never Preaches about Holiness, what it is, and how you get it, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SEE CHRIST WITHOUT IT? It's such a Natural part of Christ, and, who and what He Is, again, without Holiness as a central theme in your life, ON WHAT BASIS ARE YOU GOING TO SEE CHRIST? Even if YOU say so, WHAT DOES CHRIST SAY? The Bible says, "WITHOUT (Holiness) NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD. And you say "Without (Holiness)  I SHALL see the Lord"? How do you think  that one’s going to work out? People, OUR say-so falls by the wayside, Christ's Say-so falls on EVERY side. Don't try to use His Word to prove your point, use His Word to prove His Point, and you, Be Blessed
