Why does God chasten His children?

Answered in 1 source

God chastens His children to correct them and lead them toward holiness, demonstrating His love and faithfulness (Psalm 118:18).

The overarching reason God chastens His children is love; it is a demonstration of His commitment to our spiritual growth and well-being. According to Psalm 118:18, though God may chasten, He does not abandon us. His chastening is meant to correct and teach us, so we may learn valuable lessons about dependence on Him. This process of being treated as children under discipline aligns with the idea that God desires us to walk in righteousness and holiness, reminding us that He is intimately involved in our lives for our ultimate benefit.
