How does discipline relate to sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

Discipline in the Christian life is a means of training believers towards maturity in faith and holiness, grounded in God's love.

Discipline is an essential aspect of the Christian journey and relates closely to sanctification. The Lord disciplines those He loves, and this correction is not punitive but formative, aiming to cultivate maturity in the faith. As believers engage in discipline within the church, they do so in an environment of grace that helps them grow, encouraging one another toward love and good works. Therefore, discipline serves as a reminder of God's active role in our lives, steering us away from sin while helping us to embrace the truths of the faith and rely more fully on Christ’s finished work.
