The Book of Hebrews is written to Jewish believers in Christ who were tempted to not follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Instead, they and we today, are called to follow Jesus through obedience and faith. We are supposed to be aiming for Jesus. Following Him will involve a cross and daily death. Everything we want to do should be pleasing to the Lord. We must persevere or we were never Christ's. We must encourage each other daily because sin deceives and cannot deliver. If we want to do the will of God, He will ensure that we do.
The way we treat Christians is the way we treat Christ. What we believe about who we are will make a world of difference in our behavior. Jesus is not a lot like God, Jesus is God.
God wants us to be like Him. If we are living like Jesus, we will not fit in and that's more than okay, that is what God is calling us to.
