The Bible states that God's discipline is a sign of His love, as shown in Hebrews 12:6.
Hebrews 12:6 explicitly states, 'For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.' This indicates that divine chastisement is not an expression of anger but a loving correction intended to guide believers back to fellowship with Him. Just as earthly fathers correct their children, God's discipline reflects His paternal care and desire for His people to grow in holiness. In Numbers 21, God sent the fiery serpents as a form of correction to the Israelites so they would recognize their sin and turn back to Him. This is a powerful reminder that even in our struggles and chastisement, God's love is present, guiding us to repentance and restoration.
