How does God correct His saints?

The correction of God's saints is fundamentally rooted in His love, as indicated in Hebrews 12:6, 'For whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.' This chastening is intended not as punishment but as a means of discipline that yields the 'peaceable fruit of righteousness.' The process, while difficult and grievous at times, ultimately leads believers closer to holiness and a deeper understanding of God's character. In His discipline, God demonstrates both His love and commitment to shaping His people into the likeness of His Son.
