How do we know that Christ's love is shown through rebuke?

In Revelation 3:19, Christ speaks of His love for the church at Laodicea, indicating that His rebuke and chastening are acts of love towards His people. This is a manifestation of the loving discipline that serves to correct and instruct, ensuring that those who belong to Him do not fall into complacency. The warnings and rebukes are not to drive His followers away but instead to lead them back to a fervent faith and reliance on Him. This aligns with the broader biblical teaching in Hebrews 12, where God chastens whom He loves.
