Discipline

Like human fathers, God must correct His children when they disobey Him - and it's all because of His profound love. He truly cares enough to discipline us when we stray from Him. Nobody likes to be punished, but when we learn from our errors, we come closer to God.

Deuteronomy 8:5 - Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

Proverbs 10:17 - He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Psalm 94:10 - He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

God has to punish His children from time to time and it is the very demonstration of His love.

Proverbs 6:23 - For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Proverbs 3:12 - For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
