Hebrews 12:4 (KJV) Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, resisted unto blood against sin.

“Ye have not yet” ok not yet what? Remember how this chapter started off? Wherefore seeing or somewhat understanding of what happened in chapter 11. Do you remember this?

Hebrews 11:36 (KJV) And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

Hebrews 11:37 (KJV) They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

And others “were stoned” that’s shedding blood for what you believe. They “were sawn asunder” oh how painful that must have been; that too is shedding blood for what you believe. They “were slain with the sword” that too is shedding blood for what you believe. The examples were before you but you have “resisted unto blood” we haven’t had to be tormented, walk to a table where you would be sawed into, stand before a firing squad. No, not one of us is shedding our blood for what we believe. But we all deal with resisting sin. How are we doing with that? It’s an enemy we fight with everyday. The lust of the flesh and oh how we can justify our sin. I had a friend that I have great respect for and still do. He is in glory now. I remember a conversation we had many years ago about another man. This other man was having a relationship with a married woman who was getting a divorce. My friend said to me that this woman was getting a divorce what difference does it make ? My answer was simple because it was a Bible answer Exodus 20:14 (KJV) Thou shalt not commit adultery. It didn’t read Thou shall not unless the divorce was in the making. Think twice, even three or four times before doing what you are seeing Hollywood do. Have you ever noticed they are not all that happy with each other. Their marriages fall apart. There’s a price to pay for sin that’s why we are taught to resist. Maybe if the penalty was death it would be easier to resist. Oh but it is Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
