What does the Bible say about forgiveness and chastening?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God does not overlook sin but chastens His children to bring them to repentance and restore them.

The Scriptures underscore that God takes sin seriously and uses chastening as a means of correction for His children. In 2 Samuel 12:13-14, we see God's forgiveness extended to David after his repentance, yet He also warns of the consequences of sin that will follow. This reflects the truth that God disciplines those He loves, ensuring they do not take their sins lightly. Forgiveness does not negate the moral order; rather, it highlights God's grace while also maintaining His righteousness.
