Treating You As Sons

Hebrews 12:7 - It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?


2 Samuel 7:14-15 - I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.

Proverbs 13:24 - Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Application:

· God’s discipline is evidence that I am His child. God’s discipline is a basis for encouragement and perseverance.
· God’s steadfast love will not depart from me
· Discipline teaches me to avoid wrong behavior, embrace what is right and builds godly character
