God & Discipline

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

Deuteronomy 8:5

Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you. 

2 Samuel 7:14

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

Proverbs 13:24

Whoever spares the rod hates his son,  but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Proverbs 19:18

Discipline your son, for there is hope;  do not set your heart on putting him to death. 

Proverbs 23:13

Do not withhold discipline from a child;  if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. 

Without discipline, we have no legitimacy in a family. 

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 

Hebrews 12:11
