Hebrews 12:7
Hebrews 12:7
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews 12:7 states, “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?” This verse affirms that God’s discipline is a sign of His love and care for us. Just as a father disciplines his children to guide them, so God disciplines us because we are His children. When we face difficulties and correction, we can take comfort in the fact that God is treating us as His own beloved children. His discipline is a mark of His care, and it is always for our benefit, helping us to grow in faith and become more like Christ. Through endurance in God’s discipline, we demonstrate our trust in His love and our willingness to be shaped by His hands.
Proverbs 23:12
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
Psalm 94:12
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law.
Proverbs 12:1
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Revelation 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
