Imagine when your parents tell you not to eat too much candy because it’s bad for your teeth. They do this because they love you and want what's best for you, even if it feels tough at first. God does something similar with us.

The Book of Hebrews was written by an anonymous author around the end of the 1st century AD to Jewish Christians facing persecution and temptation to revert to Judaism.
