POINTS OF WHAT I LEARNT.
I learnt that God is punishing now so that when he comes,we will not be judge together with the world. Judgment in the house of God comes with rebuke. And for people of God to go through purification,they must go through fire. While we are in the church,we are under the subjection of the law of God. When we are not offended in the law,we will walk perfectly in the way of God. When we listen and obey the law of God,it will bring forth good fruit with patience. It is important that we accept the rebuke of God because who God love,he rebuke. When we are rebuke by God, it for us to become better people. Reprove is God's way of correcting us so that we will not be separated from him.
Some believers today do not usually want God's discipline.it is painful, but we need it. Our disobedience is both offensive to God and bad for us. But God corrects us out of love; infact, God proves we are his children through his discipline. God rebuke his children through his word and one of the purpose of the word of God is to rebuke christains. God corrects us because it is better to obey than to disobey. Our blindness to sin means we need a lot of correction. Rebuke goes deep into a man of understanding, therefore we should always submit to God's rebuke by humbling ourselves and acknowledging our weakness and sin.
God discipline us for our good so that we can share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however,it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. For us to repent, God uses the rebuke, the coincident of sermons, the quickening of Scripture, and every other means before disciplining us. But if we resist God's spirit of light and mercy,we are promised the rod of correction. When God disciplines, the punishment fits the crime. Time and again,we realize that we can not get away with unrepentant sin. When God rebuke us,he is moulding us into holy vessels, and the process can be painful.
We should continue to keep the doctrines as we abide in the house of God. Focusing on God and doing his commandments will keep us on the right path.
FORMAL BELIEF.
No contrary belief.
HOW DOES THE STUDY AFFECT ME.
The study has taught me that without the rebuke of God,we can not grow in our faith.
Thanks be to God.
We are inviting you to join the MCGI Cares (Hive) community that study the words of God and also earn some reward by making our reactions on it. We can check this link https://peakd.com/c/hive-182074/trending
Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.
MCGI Cares (Hive) community's main mission is to share the words of God, not the Hive upvotes. If we get upvotes, please treat it as just a bonus. Do not focus mainly on material things as the bible is teaching us not to look at things seen but rather focus our eyes on things not seen.
II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Discipline of God might be painful but it is necessary for our spiritual growth.
Yes brother.
