OUR LORD WHO DISCIPLINES US

Hebrews 12 verse 5 - 6, quotes Proverb 3 verse 11 that says:

My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,  nor faint when you are reproved  by Him,for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines and He scourges every son whom He receives.

The writer of Hebrews was emphasizing the efficacy  of the discipline of the Lord towards moving us into holiness.

The Lord's discipline legitimizes our place as sons and we are not to faint or shy away from the reproof we get and we should understand that everyone is subject to scourging when they are received into the household of God as sons of God.

Bless the Lord.

Amen.
