Discipline Is A Good Thing

As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as His own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father?
Hebrews 12:7

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

Will I keep the faith, even if it means I see Jesus before I see the fulfillment of a promise?

All these people died still believing what God had promised them. Hebrews 11:13

Something New

Discipline brings about

  • Confession, confess and repent of sin we have not yet dealt with.
  • Cleansing and purification.
  • Creates opportunity to be more like Christ.

 

Discipline is proof of

  • God’s love.
  • God’s perfecting work in us.
  • God’s commitment to intimacy with us.

  1. Linda, could we have the verse for the 1st discipline and the verse Wendy refers to as the 2nd discipline….a father’s ongoing discipline. I am not sure which verse is considered the 2nd mention of discipline. Thanks!

  2. My Takeaways: Keep the Faith

    Something Old: “What is faith?” Faith “is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see” (11:1, 2).

    Something New: Why does faith matter so much? Without it I have nothing! Holding on to God’s words, believing they are true and will continue to come true is the only hope I have and a big part of my relationship with God. In fact, “It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that there is a God and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him” (v.6).

    Something To Do: Live by faith in Christ alone. Be sure of what I am hoping for and certain of what I do not see.
