How do we know that God chastens those He loves?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 12:6 clearly states that God disciplines those He loves, confirming His relationship with them.

The doctrine of divine chastisement reinforces the truth that God's love is active and corrective towards His people. As stated in Revelation 3:19, 'As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten,' indicating that God's chastisement is not punitive but a sign of His fatherly love and commitment. This discipline is meant to guide His people, drawing them back to Himself and keeping them from straying. It highlights a relational dynamic where rebuke and correction are evidences of His compassion, ensuring His children do not become spiritually complacent.
