What does the Bible say about chastening from God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that whom the Lord loves, He chastens to correct, teach, and lead His children (Hebrews 12:6).
In Hebrews 12:6, it is stated, "For whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." This chastening is not to be understood as punishment for sin but rather as a corrective measure to teach and guide us in our walk with God. The purpose of chastisement is to foster holiness and encourage believers to endure trials with faith, demonstrating that they are indeed children of God. A life devoid of these trials may indicate a lack of genuine relationship with Him, reinforcing the idea that God uses chastening as a means of demonstrating His love and righteousness.
