Suffering & Value
We all sin every once in a while but we have a loving Father:
And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons? “My son, do not scorn the Lord’s discipline or give up when he corrects you. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.” (Hebrews 12:5–6 NET)
But He does so (disciplines us) for our benefit, that we may share His holiness. (Hebrews 12:10b)
His discipline reveals His love for us and His holiness is only valuable to us when heaven is our value.
