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.
Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Proverbs 13:24
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 10:17
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
Psalm 94:12
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law.
