Discipline Proves God's Love

“If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons and daughters.” Hebrews 12:8

A father would never discipline other people's disobedient children. But a father does discipline his own children because he loves them and wants them to grow up to be healthy, successful, and to respect proper authority. Discipline, in fact, is a sign of genuine sonship. As Christ followers, we are all His children. And part of being His child is experiencing the evidence of His love for us, through discipline.

​How does this understanding of discipline affect the way you view God's discipline in your life?
