Why is chastisement from God seen as a sign of His love?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 12:6 explains that God chastens those He loves, treating them as sons.

Chastisement from God is a demonstration of His love for His children. In Hebrews 12:6, it states that 'whom the Lord loves, He chastens', indicating that divine discipline is a mark of sonship. This theological perspective highlights that God desires His children to grow in holiness and righteousness. Just as earthly fathers discipline their children for their good, God’s chastisement is an essential part of the relationship He has with believers, affirming their status as His children and guiding them toward eternal life and maturity in faith.
