The purpose of divine discipline is to build a community of faithful and loyal Christians who are committed to totally obeying the word of God and are constantly working to please Him. Divine chastisement is a loving corrective form of training which leads to maturity, godliness and responsibility.
To be chastised by God may be unpleasant experiences which more often than not result in pain, it invariably produces fruits of righteousness in those who endure it.
The Holy Spirit encourages us not to despise reject God’s correction and divine discipline, because they are acts through which God demonstrates His love towards anyone that is saved.
Whenever God chastises and reproves us, we can be certain the He is treating us as a father would treat a beloved child.
Discipline should not be viewed as an act of vengeance or hatred. Chastisement is an evidence of God’s love for His people. We are to endure discipline as an acceptance of God’s love towards us, because anyone left out of the Father’s correction is an illegitimate child.
Submit to divine discipline, and God will ensure that you spend the rest of your life in joy, peace and prosperity.
