How do we know that God's discipline is for our good?
Answered in 2 sources
God's discipline is confirmed by Scripture, stating that it is meant to produce holiness and righteousness in His children (Hebrews 12:11).
The goodness of God's discipline is affirmed in Hebrews 12:11, where it is stated that '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.' This passage establishes that God's correction, while uncomfortable, ultimately leads to our spiritual benefits and growth. Moreover, through various afflictions, we realize that these are often purposed to draw us near to God, fostering an understanding of His sufficiency and encouraging us to rely on His grace. This transformational process highlights God’s love and care for us as we are transformed into His likeness.
