Peterson preaches on the topic of complacency in the Christian life based on Hebrews 12:14-17. The goal of God's people involves a process of sanctification and the expression of Christ-won consecration. In the process of undertaking this journey, the Christian is encouraged to support their fellow believers. Firstly, they are to ensure that fellow believers do not fall short of God's glory. Secondly, they are to guard against bitterness so that it does not cause trouble. The author speaks against the attitude of Christians who presume upon the grace of God and live unrighteously. Christian lives should be a clear expression and statement of the grace of God; believers must not presume upon the grace of God. Thirdly, Christians are to avoid immorality. Two ways Christians harden their hearts through these attitudes are sexual immorality and profanity.
