Chapter Summary and Overview:

Hebrews Chapter 12 encourages believers to persevere in their faith by comparing the Christian life to a marathon race. This requires laying aside sin and anything that hinders progress and looking to Jesus as the ultimate example of endurance. The chapter also explains that God disciplines his children for their good, treating hardship as a sign of love and a way to foster righteousness and peace. Finally, it contrasts the fear of Mount Sinai with the joy of Mount Zion, reminding readers that they have come to a superior and heavenly community and must not reject God's voice.

Running the race of faith

Lay aside burdens and sin:
 
Believers are called to shed what weighs them down and the sin that easily entangles them to run the race successfully. 
Run with endurance:
 
The Christian life is a long race that requires patience and perseverance, not passive acceptance.
 
Fix your eyes on Jesus:
 
Jesus is the "author and finisher" of faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before him. He is the ultimate example to follow. 
God's discipline

Discipline is a sign of love:
 
God disciplines his children for their own good, just as a father disciplines a son.
 
Endure hardship:
 
Hardship is not a sign of abandonment but a form of training that, though painful now, produces a harvest of righteousness and peace later. 
The superior new covenant 

From Sinai to Zion:
 
The chapter contrasts the terrifying experience of God's presence at Mount Sinai with the joyous arrival of believers in the heavenly Jerusalem, Mount Zion.

Do not refuse God's voice:
 
Because of this superior position in the new covenant, believers must not ignore or refuse to obey God's voice, as the consequences for rejecting the earthly covenant were severe.
