We may get corrected and chastened by our Heavenly Father. We had earthly fathers that corrected us; however, there may have been some abuse. Sometimes we can't think about our earthly fathers and compare them to our Heavenly Father. We ought to never compare sinners with the sinless One.
We should not have a hard time in thinking about God as Someone who never harmed a soul. God will never abuse His beloved and blessed children; however, our Heavenly Father will punish His beloved and blessed children. There is no doubt God the Father chastens whomever He loves. We ought to fear the corrective wrath of God the Father.
We ought to fear God as we do our earthly fathers; that is, we did not want to let him down. We ought to fear God the Father in respect for Him. We also ought to fear His wrath and discipline. We may have disobeyed our earthly fathers and likewise we disobey our Heavenly Father. We face discipline after we disobey; however, God is waiting to forgive us if we come to Him on the basis of faith.
We must ask, is correction something you are willing to accept? Have you responded to it properly? We chastened by a loving God (Hebrews 12:6-7) and chastened for a few days (Hebrews 12:10).
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
