How do we know that God disciplines His children out of love?

Answered in 1 source

God disciplines His children because He loves them, as stated in Hebrews 12:6.

Hebrews 12:6 articulates that 'whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth,' highlighting that God’s discipline is an act of love and care rather than punishment. Unlike a judge meting out justice for wrongdoing, God, as our Father, chastens His children with the intent of bringing them to repentance and holiness. This type of loving discipline serves to turn the hearts of the children back to Him, illustrating His commitment to their spiritual wellbeing and growth.
