How does God purify His people through judgment?

Answered in 1 source

God purifies His people through judgment by correcting sin and drawing them to repentance.

The process of purification through God's judgment involves affliction that leads believers to recognize and turn from sin. As described in Isaiah, God's discipline serves to remove idolatry and false hopes from the hearts of His people. This judgment is not merely punitive but rather a means of grace designed to turn believers towards Christ, expel sinful tendencies, and cultivate faith. The goal of such discipline is always restoration, leading to a deeper understanding of God’s holiness and a stronger attachment to Christ. God's purifying work ensures that His people become more reflective of Christ's character as they are conformed to His image.
