Key Takeaways:

The Father does not enjoy having to discipline His children, but the benefits afterward make the chastening an evidence of His love. God’s discipline is proof that we are indeed His children.The writer viewed the trials of the Christian life as spiritual discipline that could help a believer mature. Instead of trying to escape the difficulties of life, the writer says we should rather be “exercised” by them so that we might grow (Heb. 12:11).When we are suffering, it is easy to think that God does not love us. The writer gave proofs that discipline comes from the Father’s heart of love.The fact that the Father chastens us is proof that we are maturing, and it is the means by which we can mature even more.
